The same problem occurs with multiboot instead of knetbsd (for i386 only, as the NetBSD kernel does not support multiboot on amd64). However, the system after boot seems to work fine. This issue apparently only affects the in-kernel debugger. A similar problem is mentioned in the archives of the mailing list [1].=20 I tried to adapt the patch given in [1] to the current trunk, but with=20 no luck. And the patch focuses on multiboot, so I guess it would not=20 solve the problem with knetbsd. This stuff is way above my head=20 anyway... But I'd happy to help by testing :-) Thanks for your help, Gr=E9goire [1] http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2008-09/msg00194.html
