No just the the test program should be enough.


I don't use sysinst at all as the sun4v NetBSD code is too unstable. I
configure the disk image on amd64, copy it to Solaris and then boot it
as LDOM. Initially I used my own custom init program, but the NetBSD-11
snapshot I'm using seems to boot OK in single user mode, so I
use /bin/sh as the starting point to execute my test program.

Ok - have you tried with NetBSD-current as baseline? I think NetBSD 11 was branched off the main development branch long time ago, so things *may* have improved.


I assume you know how to setup Solaris guest LDOM, so I won't go into
details on that.


Yes correct.
