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?Did this. Works like a charm. Grub is no longer a part of my life. Happiness.
NetBSD 5.0_BETA definitely includes the multiboot support in /usr/mdec/boot (as it was in 4.99.73).
Was your 5.0_BETA self-built or from the NetBSD autobuild cluster? -- Stephen
