NetBSD rpi4.home.genyosha.net 10.1_STABLE NetBSD 10.1_STABLE (GENERIC64) #0: Mon Jul 14 18:42:13 UTC 2025 mkrepro%mkrepro.NetBSD.org@localhost:/usr/src/sys/arch/evbarm/compile/GENERIC64 evbarm
>Description:
The evbarm port can also use /boot.cfg (at least some of the functionality, it
is used by bootaa64.efi) per comment from martin@ in the mailing list:
https://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-arm/2025/07/17/msg009321.html
BUGS section of boot.cfg(5) man page says:
Support for boot.cfg is currently for NetBSD/i386 and NetBSD/amd64 only.
It is hoped that its use will be extended to other appropriate ports that
use the boot(8) interface.
Simple suggestion would be to update just the first sentence:
Support for boot.cfg is currently for NetBSD/i386, NetBSD/amd64, and
NetBSD/evbarm only.
However there is also distrib/sparc64/bootfs/boot.cfg so maybe that one as well?
>How-To-Repeat:
man boot.cfg
