Unfortunately: axp33# disklabel -B -b /boot/boot1 da1c boot overlaps used partition a Warning, boot overlaps partition c, marked as FS_BOOT disklabel: cannot install boot program axp33# disklabel -B -b /boot/boot1 /dev/rda1c boot overlaps used partition a Warning, boot overlaps partition c, marked as FS_BOOT disklabel: cannot install boot program axp33# I tried to be tricky by: mv /boot /boot.netbsd mkdir /boot & populate with /boot/loader And then: boot -fi /boot/loader Alas: unknow executable format For the rest everything works just fine using the NetBSD boot-bits.
