RE: TS 7200 kernel image size

["Martin Fouts" <fouts%fogey.com@localhost>]

For the TS7200 it's the gziped image that goes into the fis reserved region.
I haven't tried with current, but 4.0 fit nicely when we were working with
it.

The gzimage file contains a small executable that unzips the kernel into
ram, followed by the gzipped kernel.
