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 ...
Whereas in my head, I constructed: /netbsd/kernel /netbsd/modules/... /onetbsd/kernel /onetbsd/modules/... boot /netbsd boot /onetbsdIf the bootloader finds a file, it boots the file. If it finds a directory, it boots the file named 'kernel' in the directory.
