Is it because of the size? Or does ofwboot.xcf expect > gzipped files? I've never used a gzipped kernel on my NetBSD 10 macppc (a G4 laptop). Might be a size issue, although I see my current 10.1 GENERIC kernel is -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 12862312 Dec 16 2024 netbsd* so not a lot of daylight between that size and your problematic kernel's. Perhaps it's something else, but I dunno what. regards, tom lane
