Care to guess in which release ksyms appeared?

I don't see anything in pkgsrc about new (well, it's hardly new after
what, 6 years?) bootparams.  The MULTIBOOT stuff is a completely
different deal;  it's not "native" NetBSD boot.

I'd really like if someone would kill grub's ability to (non-MULTIBOOT)
boot NetBSD kernels.  Or fix it, pick your choice.
