@subsection NetBSD
Booting a NetBSD kernel from GRUB is also relatively easy: first set
GRUB's root device, then load the kernel and the modules, and finally
run @command{boot}.
@enumerate
@item
Set GRUB's root device to the partition holding the NetBSD root file
system. For a disk with a NetBSD disk label, this is usually the first
partition (a:). In that case, and assuming that the partition is on the
first hard disk, set GRUB's root device as follows:
@example
grub> @kbd{insmod part_bsd}
grub> @kbd{set root=(hd0,netbsd1)}
@end example
For a disk with a GUID Partition Table (GPT), and assuming that the
NetBSD root partition is the third GPT partition, do this:
@example
grub> @kbd{insmod part_gpt}
grub> @kbd{set root=(hd0,gpt3)}
@end example
@item
Load the kernel using the command @command{knetbsd}:
@example
grub> @kbd{knetbsd /netbsd}
@end example
Various options may be given to @command{knetbsd}. These options are,
for the most part, the same as in the NetBSD boot loader. For instance,
to boot the system in single-user mode and with verbose messages, do
this:
@example
grub> @kbd{knetbsd /netbsd -s -v}
@end example
@item
If needed, load kernel modules with the command
@command{knetbsd_module_elf}. A typical example is the module for the
root file system:
@example
grub> @kbd{knetbsd_module_elf /stand/amd64/6.0/modules/ffs/ffs.kmod}
@end example
@item
Finally, run the command @command{boot} (@pxref{boot}).
@end enumerate
