Apparently it's not gzip, and I can't get the root.img floppy to mount
as a cramfs type either.
I get
hp:~# uncompress root.gz
uncompress: root.gz: not in gzip format
and
hp:~# mount -v -t cramfs -o ro,loop /d-i/floppies-2.6/root-1021.img
/floppy
mount: going to use the loop device /dev/loop0
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
or too many mounted file systems
Hmmm... There must be some way to get the ramdisk content for BootX.
Anyone?

Duane
