Impressive! I haven't tried out your tiny minimal NetBSD VM piece yet but this
is great too. Have you tried out the pkgsrc's `dmassage' utility with the
small kernels dmesg to strip down the kernel too so it doesn't even try to
attach stuff that won't be present anyway?

I didn't! I didn't even know such tool existed, FWIW when I did my
first experiments, I came up with something in the same spirit:

https://github.com/NetBSDfr/smolBSD/blob/main/kstrip.sh

which gave birth to another tool written by Denis Bodor:

https://gitlab.com/0xDRRB/confkerndev

But in any case, the kernels I use for this project are already
stripped down:

Cheers,
