Hi,
Is it possible to pass arbitrary parameters to boot(8), respectively the kernel,
so that they can be read from the running system (in userland)?
While poking in the boot(8) sourcecode I found the option "env". Could somebody
please tell me what this (undocumented, at least in the boot(8) manp

I would not rely on boot loader that resides
outside of MBR. The best thing for multi-os pc
is distro-independent loader (e.g. GAG) + partion
loaders for each specific OS.
Don't want my OpenBSD to depend on
Linux partitions :) My personal opin

chainloader +1 should work, both with NetBSD as with OpenB
Gag is the way to go, easy to use and even looks pretty.
Subject: Re: GRUB's boot parameter
GAG [1] is a nice boot manager. It can boot a lot of OS's, including
OpenBSD. You should give it a try.

You don't get it. I said to ask the grub people
for a correct openbsd boot option. The problem is grub
is attempting to boot OpenBSD as if it were an old netbsd
kernel. This will not work. You should ask the grub
people to fix it. My advice? don't use grub.

So I usualy boot any OS from GRUB in FD.
If version of OpenBSD 3.7 's boot parameter changed or parameter I set
was wrong, please let me know correct thing.
