I suggest you test if GRUB Legacy's Multiboot loader supports this properly, as the code I used derives from that. (be careful though, GRUB Legacy has a unified "kernel" command so when given a kernel of NetBSD it might not use Multiboot automatically) > And the patch focuses on multiboot, so I guess it would not > solve the problem with knetbsd. I believe NetBSD kernel developers (that'd be jmmv) implemented Multiboot support in order to avoid duplication of efforts. I think it's appropiate to consider knetbsd loader as "legacy" and resolve this problem in our multiboot loader. (but I'm not against improving knetbsd loader of course) -- Robert Millan "Be the change you want to see in the world" -- Gandhi
