Great guide, thanks for this!

A few points, if I may:

I think the 32-bit loader is supposed to be called bootia32.efi (at least according to the UEFI standard).

menuentry 'NetBSD 9.2' {
         insmod part_gpt
         insmod search_fs_uuid
         insmod chain
         chainloader (hd0,gpt1)/bootx64.efi
}
If multiple drives are connected then the (hd0,gpt1) identifier might not be consistently correct.

I prefer to use this (replace $uuid with the actual UUID of the EFI system partition):
Code:
menuentry 'NetBSD' {
   search --fs-uuid --set=root $uuid
   chainloader /bootx64.efi
}
I've never needed to manually load GRUB modules. YMMV.

HTH.
