Re: trouble installing grub on -current amd64

# mv ld.elf_so ld.elf_so.bak
# cp /emul/netbsd32/libexec/ld.elf_so ld.elf_so
# file ld.elf_so
ld.elf_so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for NetBSD 4.0, not stripped
# ktrace -f grub.out /usr/pkg/sbin/grub-install /dev/rwd0d 


Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.
Installation finished. No error reported.
This is the contents of the device map /grub/device.map.
Check if this is correct or not. If any of the lines is incorrect,


fix it and re-run the script `grub-install'.

(fd0)   /dev/rfd0a
(hd0)   /dev/rwd0d

This problem is solved. Now I will proceed to address the problem that prompted me to install
-current  in the  first place.


P.S. I was very very close to submitting a PR and installing i386. Thanks for all your help.

namei() won't trace when it follows symlinks.
Have you checked what happens if you make a copy of the file?
The error might be elsewhere!
