should work either way.  The boot program can read both gzipped and
uncompressed kernels.

yes, from the how-to:

   "Please note that the bootxx_cd9660 program was not added until
    after NetBSD-1.4.x. If you're running NetBSD-1.4.x, you can
    obtain boot.pmax, nstallboot, and bootxx_cd9660 from a -current
    snapshot. Make sure the sources are from after late November, 1999."
