I have put a GENERIC kernel up on freefall as http://www.freebsd.org/~dfr/kernel.GENERIC-300898.gz. This kernel has root hardwired to /dev/rsd0a (because I haven't written the code to figure out which disk was actually booted). If you need a different root, tell me and I'll build another.
Got a problem:
* First had to fibure out how to tell the NetBSD loader to load the kernel. Hint to the less initiated than I am (Last DEC cnsole I worked on was on a VAX/750): + shutdown now + umount -a + halt + AT the ``Boot >>> '' prompt, type: boot freebsd.GENERIC-980830 (or whatever) Any deviation will cause the previous kernel to boot. No prompts will be given, The Netbsd documentation is sparse or incorrect in this area.
* I now have on my console:

Sounds like I need your help...
What is the filename of the kernel? If you decompress the kernel and put it in /kernel.GENERIC-980830 then you should be able to use:
boot -file kernel.GENERIC-980830 -flags s
to attempt a boot to single-user mode. You won't manage multiuser without installing FreeBSD binaries but single-user works fine with NetBSD init and sh.
