 FWIW, although that might be the ideal solution, it's not practical, as
 that would involve teaching grub an awful lot about the internals (and
 structure) of the NetBSD kernel.
 
 The only solution that might be available here is to figure out why
 (and more importantly, how) grub is trying to actually load the modules,
 rather than simply "pushing" them to the NetBSD tertiary bootloader (as
 in module_prime() used by normal secondary boot).  I have so far been
 unable to even build the grub2 package.
