Re: CoLo supported with Netbsd ?

Our native bootloader also can load kernels from ext2fs partitions
(not from EXT3, but our kernel doens't support it (yet?) anyway).
Of course it supports loading kernels from FFS, including UFS2.

That's the reason why our native bootloader was written.

Now we supports boot via NFS and BOOTP/DHCP.
(which is also used by the original Cobalt boot on the ROM)

That's how our boot.gz is loaded, and a reason why
I wrote (non GPLed) newfs_ext2fs(8).

So I think CoLo would be worth enough for Linux,
but "not so much" for NetBSD ;-)
