As explained (and confirmed working!) very recently in a posting by
Rafal to this list, you can place the kernel in the disk volume header
(dvh) and boot happily from there. No need for XFS support in NetBSD.

Wouldn't mind xfs support though, but I'd like it for interoperability
reasons (think ext2).
