Maybe Hubert could expand on his thinking, but I extrapolated it into
something like:
/netbsd/NETBSD <-- kernel file.  Static name.
/netbsd/modules/xyz
/netbsd/others/CONFIG
/netbsd/others/other_stuff_easily_mapped_in_/kern

So the you could tell the bootloader to look for:
/onetbsd/NETBSD
/onetbsd/modules/xyz
...
