Actually, this is (almost) the same I get when looking at a linux kernel.
I then ripped the gzip file (beginning at offset 0x482b), which
did not show any signs of Linux (so they didn't just take Linux
and put a BeOS sticker on it).
Anyway, the boot-code looks suspicously like simply taken from Linux.
