Yes, things have...

Having setup a dom0 on NetBSD/amd64 4.99.73 for the first time
the other night, let me suggest:
a) install 4.99.73 (or, now, 5.0_BETA ;) )
b) 'man boot.cfg' to see just how easy it is to avoid grub and still
boot xen on amd64!!!!

I just did this on a new disk. Installed 5.0_BETA from 3/11 and hacked boot.cfg according to the man-page. It seems that in 5.0beta the manpage is updated with the multiboot stuff, but "multiboot" is an unknown command for boot itself.

Is it /boot that I need to update in this situation? I.e. get a new / usr/mdec/boot from 5.99.x?

Apart from the inverted documentation issue that is (i.e. a feature that doesn't exist is already documented in 5.0beta ;-))...
