4.X PicoBSD has bigger issues.  gzip kernel + loader just about fill the
disk right there.

Mike Smith is trying to prod me into getting rid of loader and go back to
gluing the MFS image in the kernel again.  I hate that but the
write_mfs_in_kernel tool has reappeared under sysinstall's tree. Getting
rid of loader would buy back ~150KB on the disk.
