I think the best thing to do would be to look for a .note.netbsd.ident
section. All of our userland programs have them, though it looks like my
kernels don't. So you'd need to add that to the kernel build, and then
look for it.

We probably should start adding a, "I'm a NetBSD kernel," note in order to
help non-NetBSD booters do the right thing.

Take care,
