PMON booting

PMON can directly load an uncompressed ELF kernel. An ext2 partition is required to host the kernel.

To boot from a USB device:

PMON> boot -k (usb0,0)/netbsd-LOONGSON

To boot from the internal IDE hard disk:

PMON> boot -k (wd0,0)/netbsd-LOONGSON

Partitioning

Use MBR partitioning and create an ext2 partition for the kernel and boot configuration.

Boot menu

To configure the boot menu, create boot.cfg on the ext2 partition:

timeout 3
default 0
showmenu 1

title NetBSD
        kernel  (wd0,0)/netbsd
        args    --
