(fresh install)
>Description:
Kzip fails to recognize ELF-format kernels (including the GENERIC kernel
supplied on installation).  Output message from the GENERIC kernel is:

real kernel start address will be: 0x1
real kernel end   address will be: 0x65aac68a
kzip: bad magic in file kernel, probably not a kernel
kzip: extract returned 200

>How-To-Repeat:
On a standard 3.1-RELEASE installation:

$ kzip /kernel

(or any other ELF-compiled kernel)
>Fix:
A workaround exists if you compile the kernel as a.out format AND you
copy the files kzhead.o and kztail.o from a 3.0 or earlier machine
(tested with 2.2.2) to /usr/lib/aout.
