+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+This program compresses a kernel using
+.Xr gzip 1
+to reduce its disk storage requirements.
+It does not reduce the memory footprint once loaded into memory.
+You lose all the symbols, so usability is limited.
+Its main usage is making kernels for install and fixit floppies, etc.
+.Pp
+The following options are available:
+.Bl -tag -width flag
+.It Fl v
+Verbose mode, reports how much memory is being used by the kernel
+after compression. Also allows you to check to make sure your kernel
+is not going past the 4MB boundary.
+.It Fl l Ar loadaddr
+Specify the address to load the kernel into memory at.
+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+The
+.Nm
+utility returns with exit code 1 if given invalid arguments.
+Exit code two means
