 I slimmed the loader by removing some fs_ops from 
 src/sys/boot/i386/loader/conf.c that are unnecessary for pxeboot and 
 disabled Forth support. Under these preconditions there will be finally 
 enough memory available to decompress a "bzip2 -1"-compressed kernel.
 
 However this might be a i386-specific problem nevertheless. I'm not 
 aware of other architectures, but it could be that this memory related 
 problem concerns i386 only due to architecture conditioned restrictions.
