Native NetBSD booloader could do that, with the addition of a bootinfo field with LBA offset and size for the partition from where the kernel was loaded. A multiboot bootloader cannot, because all the information that is passed is about partition numbers. There is no way of specifying a LBA offset, hence the setup where you have a GPT inside raidframe seems impossible to support. -- Emmanuel Dreyfus m...@netbsd.org
