restoring a gzipped dump file

I am sure that this will be an easy one. I have a 4.0d system that I have
made some dumps to disk by piping through gzip, like so:

/> dump -2u -f - / | gzip > /mnt/rootdump.gz

The /mnt is a 4.0f system mount via nfs, both using ufs. Is there a way to
restore from this file without gunzipping it first? I tried this using a
file I called pingscript:

gunzip -c rootdump.gz | restore -t pingscript

It just hung there. I am not sure that restore saw the input from the
gunzip command. Am I on the verge here or way off base?

Thanks!
