Both are possible.

First, you *must* set your ftp client to binary mode if you're going
to download boot.fs, but you said you got boot.fs.gz, so you're
probably okay.

boot.fs should look like this (ignore the change in name, that's just
for my reference:

salt:~/netbsd 502$ ll boot.fs-1.4.1 
-rw-r--r--   1 gr       users    1474560 Aug 11 07:35 boot.fs-1.4.1
salt:~/netbsd 503$ dd if=boot.fs-1.4.1 of=/dev/null
2880+0 records in
2880+0 records out
salt:~/netbsd 504$ 

Secondly, you never issued quite the right command from OF. You want
to do this:

0 > boot fd:0

Hope that helps...
