i just managed to boot NetBSD with etherboot's FreeBSD loader. the only problem is a) NetBSD has different boot parameters than FreeBSD. i hardwired REALBASEMEM and REALEXTMEM to kernel so it's able to get memory and runs well, except it doesn't know what was boot device and boot file name (no bootinfo at all) b) I am able to write NetBSD support to etherboot except there's no method of detecting if kernel is NetBSD or FreeBSD (at least i don't know) other than scanning memory for "The NetBSD Foundation, Inc. All rights reserved." which seems quite stupid. |
