+To finalize the installation of
+.Nx*M
+certain parameters on the Cyclone firmware need to changed. The reason
+is that the Cyclone firmware is unable to boot anything other than an
+a.out format kernels.
+.Pp
+Kernels created on a
+.Nx*V
+\*M system are natively ELF and converted to a.out. This conversion
+process loses the symbol information used for, amongst other things,
+kernel memory grovelers such as vmstat.  The workaround to the problem
+is to provide both the native ELF kernel (with all the symbol
+information) and the a.out kernel. These are available as /netbsd
+and /netbsd.aout respectively. As the a.out format kernel is not named
+in such a way that the Cyclone firmware will automatically find it the
+following command should be issued as the firmware prompt.
