which bootloader does NetBSD use
Hello,
I try to use NetBSD with Easybcd. Now I wonder what bootloader NetBSD uses so I can check if Easybcd can work with it. Roelof |

On a dedicated NetBSD system on standard PC hardware, NetBSD is started by the code in the first sector of the diskdrive, the MBR. This code scans the partition table for an active partition and passes control to the boot code (volume boot record) at the beginning of this active partition.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_..._bootstrapping In most boot managers you will only have to select to the MBR partition number of your NetBSD install.
