The compressed kernel needs to start with 0x1f8b or 0x1f9e,
else you'll get the "unknown compression method" error:
https://github.com/wgwoods/aboot/blob/master/zip/misc.c#L131
Use "hexdump -C" on the compressed kernel image to double check
that it starts with the proper magic bytes.

Not at all. But I've never owned an Alpha, so am totally
unfamiliar with its boot process.
