I never tried that but I wouldn't be surprised. If you want your  
kernel to find its boot device, file name and such automatically you  
need to update your boot loader. Lack of this is annoying when you're  
using stuff like systat when running a kernel that's not /netbsd.

No idea either, I installed my O2 by netbooting 4.0 and later  
upgrading to -current.
Maybe it's bootinfo fallout?

have fun
