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?
