Thank you for working on this!

Is the netbsd.img above an uncompressed binary/kernel/netbsd-GENERIC64.img.gz
from the release build?

I tried running build.sh release with -m evbarm -a aarch64 and then

  gunzip <$release/evbarm/binary/gzimg/arm64.img.gz >arm64.img
  gunzip <$release/evbarm/binary/kernel/netbsd-GENERIC64.img.gz >netbsd.img

followed by the commands quoted above, but they failed with:

  WARNING: Image format was not specified for 'arm64.img' and probing guessed raw.
           Automatically detecting the format is dangerous for raw images, write operations on block 0 will be restricted.
           Specify the 'raw' format explicitly to remove the restrictions.

This is using QEMU 3.0.0 from pkgsrc.
