 I had the same problem. Error -3 is BZ_MEM_ERROR and means that a memory 
 allocation failed. I did further investigations and found out that it 
 almost works if you pass the flag -1 to bzip2 command line utility. In 
 this case the decompression routine needs only 250k instead of 2250k 
 with -9 (default) according to bzip2(1); but it seems like that you 
 still run into other memory related problems. The loader says:
 
 Can't work out which disk we are booting from.
 Guessed BIOS device 0xffffffff not found by probes, defaulting to disk0:
 
 panic: free: guard1 fail @ 0x36c54 from 
 /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/loader/../../common/module.c:957
 --> Press a key on the console to reboot <--
