The miniroot isn't a cpio archive; it's a UFS image. Cpio has nothing
to do with it.
You should instead do this:
# umount /tmp/b
# lofiadm -d /dev/lofi/1
# gzip /tmp/a/x86.miniroot
The resulting x86.miniroot.gz file is what you need.
When you use lofiadm, writes through the lofi device (which are done
by the mounted file system) end up going to the file used to create
the lofi device. This means that you're updating the uncompressed
image in place.
