I believe the RPI2 and RPI3 are both supported by GENERIC, and RPI3 also by

Thanks.

I've got netbsd-GENERIC.  Do I just move/copy that to /boot/kernel7.img or is
it more complicated than that?


As Jason said, it still needs to be converted:

   objcopy -O binary path/to/netbsd-GENERIC /boot/kernel7.img


This is done automagicaly by the kernel build as netbsd.img. This file
needs copying  to /boot/kernel7.img

I'm not sure if sysupgrade touches the firmware and the dtb files in
/boot, it's possible that you also have to update those.


someone(tm) should fix sysupgrade to do this.

thanks,
Nick
