Thanks for giving modular-xorg a build try. I look forward to
your results.

I also tried to build modular-xorg, so far it has been a bit of a
disaster with many .pc packages showing as missing, some of them
actually avalable in the built-in X, but not all. Just in case, I cvs
updated my pkgsrc tree and am running pkg_rolling-replace at the
moment in order to reattempt
Now that I have a working boot strapping model (just using `boot` right away
would have been preferred over GRUB2 knetbsd)
set default=0
set timeout=5
menuentry "netbsd wd0e" {
insmod ext2
set root=(hd0,msdos1)
knetbsd

Thanks -- that would explain it. No I do not necessarily have to do MULTIBOOT.
I would prefer however

Hello Greg. Thank you for the extensive answer.
## Sectors 0 and 1
Would sector 0 simply correspond to what is called the Partition Boot Record? *
There are bits of disklabel onto sector 1 indeed.
## Sectors 2-13 and getting closer
The bootxx_ffsv2 and bootxx_ext2fs are both 6656 bytes (13
x11/pixman installs pkgconf package (confusion between 'pkgsrc'
package and package in the 'pkgconf' context). X11/pixman does not
depend on modular Xorg. I would try to rerun the modular-xorg
installation after cleaning the work folders as some configure scripts
might have failed detecting it.
When I do rolling replace I usually manually install osabi and dependents
in advance.
