Hi.

I now have my system doing multi-boot into Win2K, Linux and NetBSD.
Mostly it works OK, except the NetBSD boot stops at this point:

[messages elided...]
boot device: <unknown>
root device:


The GRUB menu entry currently looks like this:

title NetBSD
root (hd0,2,a)
kernel --type=netbsd /netbsd

which is enough to get it to the above prompt.  How does the kernel
normally know what its boot device is?  Is there an argument that I
can pass to the GRUB kernel command to let NetBSD know what its boot
device is?


It's been a while, but thanks to Andrew Gillham, Chris Pinnock,
Brian Gregor, Shunji KUBOTA (and Robert Dinse, eskimo.com's owner)
for their responses to my previous questions, which have got me
this far.
