The multi-boot CDROM uses the kernel named netbsd.vax.
Also, I think the boot loader doesn't handle the RockRidge extensions,
and won't accept the name "netbsd.generic.gz". Even if you knew the
filename in the directory (either netbsd.generic_gz or netbsd_generic.gz),
the boot loader console code won't let you enter the '_' character.
