Maybe there's a way to update the on-disk bootloader with GRUB instead of 
the usual NetBSD bootloader?
You can certainly boot NetBSD with GRUB in a pinch... though it would be nice 
to figure out what's going on.
Well, first I need to get GRUB onto the NetBSD disk!

I tried to build the grub2 package, but the build failed. grub 0.97 package builds, and I ran grub-install but the resulting disk still fails to boot.
