Some more information on that.

The partition on the memory stick containing the installation disk (as copied from NetBSD-6.0.1-i386.iso) is /dev/sd0f (2nd one).

The GRUB2 entry is as follows:

Quote:
menuentry "NetBSD 6.0.1" {
insmod ufs2
set root=(hd0,2)
knetbsd /netbsd --root=sd0f
}
When the booting process starts, it gets stopped at the following messages:

Quote:
boot device: sd0
root on sd0f dumps on sd0b
root file system type: ffs
warning: no /device/console
Created tmpfs /dev (1490944 byte, 2000 inodes)
init: can't exec getty '/usr/libexec/getty' for port '/dev/console': No such file or directory
init: can't exec getty '/usr/libexec/getty' for port '/dev/console': No such file or directory
etc.
Of course it has to be said that the last line concerns '/dev/console', not '/usr/libexec/getty', because the latter file is there for sure.
