I can confirm this: RELENG_6 doesn't pxeboot when /boot/kernel/kernelYes, this and the follow-up commit plus the following diff make
is gzipped. In my case, it hangs just after loading a loader.conf file.
I've also verified that loading gzipped kernels/modules works on
7-CURRENT/i386. So it's either loader vs. pxeboot issue (unlikely,
since pxeboot reuses the loader binary), or i386 vs. amd64 issue
(unlikely as well as amd64 reuses the i386 boot code), or more likely
because some changes were not MFCed. Perhaps this one:

: This allows using memory above first megabyte for heap if necessary.

I'll narrow this down tomorrow if noone bites me while I sleep. :-)
pxeboot work with gzipped files.
