Even as .gz? The bootloader should be able to boot .gz images.

Uhhh. Never done miniroot magic. Stop. Wrong. I tweaked the 4.3BSD-Tahoe
miniroot for my MicroVAX... But that is an other story. ;-) Hmm. I think
you will need "disklabel -B" / installboot(8) magic. Perhaps you should
look in the NetBSD source where the miniroot is build when you "make
release"...
