I created an IPL CD and loaded it from the HMC. It got to the message "RAMDISK: compressed image found at block 0" and it seems to lock up.

When you create the CD, make sure the fully qualified names /path/to/filename, are relative to the location of the slack390.ins file. So, the simplest thing to do is put them all in one directory, just as the sample was created. The other thing you can do, if your network firewalls will allow it, is to IPL from an FTP server, using the slack390.ins file and the three starter files.
