No, I don't think so.  I originally used the prep.fla.sh script from
3.4-RELEASE to prepare the DOC a few months ago.  I haven't touched the
MBR since then, but I replaced boot1 and boot2 with the 4.0-RELEASE
versions by hand (disklabel).  When I boot from the DOC, boot2 sees the
DOC as BIOS drive 0, reads boot.conf, and tries 0:ad(0,a)/kernel.kgz after
a few seconds.  The kernel uncompresses, does its little dance, and
eventually tries to mount the wrong root device.

Things I haven't done yet are:
* Try putting boot1 and boot2 on it again
* Try using a non-kgzipped kernel
