It would help if you were much more precise about what you are doing to boot and exactly what happens. I can't tell if you are using the BIOS to boot the disk, or some EFI thing, and how far it gets. > If I drop to the boot prompt and type "boot hd0:", NetBSD boots normally. This is also unclear - a key point is if that boot loader was loaded from the USB disk, or not. > My guess is that I need to set some additional option in some > configuration file. > With FreeBSD, I need to set vfs.mountroot.timeout="10" in > /boot/loader.conf, for instance. Many things are possible, but far more information is needed to help you. (Reply on list, not to me personally, as always.)
