It's actually in -current, no longer on a branch.

RedBoot loads NetBSD fine.  What I suspect Kyle might have been
talking about, though, is a BSD-licensed boot loader that shares
code with NetBSD and which can be included more seamlessly in the
development and (in perhaps a reduced form) in the final product.
There are a few different boot loaders out there with different
licenses on them and with differing platform support, but nothing
that fits this bill.

Shouldn't this thread be on tech-embed@ instead of tech-kern@ ?
