Bob,

Have you changed the boot buffersize.... This may help.

This will allow you to get it loaded, then you can use the
compress-config command.

Haven't done this in a while. I'll look into this if it doesn't work
for you.

Dave

goss-a1-5300(config)#boot buffersize ?
  <0-4294967295> Buffer size
