Hi!

I'm trying to include /boot/loader to my picobsd floppy, my system is
4.2-STABLE updated 22 feb.
I keep a copy of loader built with PicoBSD from FreeBSD 3.2-S, 
it's about 83kB.
If I just copy it to floppy it works fine and loads kernel.
But if I grab /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/loader/loader, do kzip on it,
I obtain loader.kz which is about 87kB. It does not load kernel if I use it
at /boot/loader. Instead, it says something like

Uncompressing kernel... done
Booting
0.00

After that strange '0.00' system halts.

I understand a difference between 3.2 and 4.2.
So, I wonder what is correct way to compress loader for 4.2?
I cannot try not compressed loader, it does not fit. 
Meantime I use a copy of old loader from FreeBSD 3.
