Yolo again
this message closely relates to my two previous ones -- on bootstrapping netbsd
from an ext2fs manually -- and I am now and finally considering MULTIBOOT.
Although I have seen some success reports with GRUB2 *1, all I get is failures.
With GRUB2/multiboot and multiboot2 I get
error: no multiboot header found.
The GRUB2 configurations I tried:
menuentry 'multiboot netbsd' {
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,msdos1)'
multiboot /netbsd root=/dev/wd0e
}
menuentry 'multiboot2 netbsd' {
insmod ext2
insmod multiboot2
set root='(hd0,msdos1)'
multiboot2 /netbsd root=/dev/wd0e
}
Although it is supposedly the default now, I even tried with a custom kernel
(`options MULTIBOOT`).
Note GRUB2 offers some tweaks to workaround things *1. No change there either.
Now with SYS/EXTLINUX, I get something similar
Invalid Multiboot image: neither ELF header nor a.out kludge found
How get the boot strapping process to load the netbsd kernel fine using
multiboot?
I remember I was able to load XEN+NetBSD with the GRUB `kernel` and `module`
parameters before, and I believe this was doing MULTIBOOT already. But maybe
that was GRUB legacy.
Thanks
