Yes, only when there is no way to detect which type automatically. In this case, that's obligate, though I don't like that. > 2. Is it acceptable to use --type=openbsd for the newer kernels, and > keep --type=netbsd for older kernels? Probably --type=old-openbsd or something would be better. However, what I can't justify is if we can drop the support for older OpenBSD. I guess that few people let GRUB to load older OpenBSD directly (everyone chain-loads OpenBSD for now, doesn't it?), so it might not be so important to keep the backward compatibility. To everyone on this list: What do you think about this? Do you think it is critical to keep older OpenBSD bootable with GRUB directly? If no one wants such a feature (which is poor, anyway), I think it would be better to just remove the support for older OpenBSD.
