(amd64) Boot loader's "load" command not working?
Paul Goyette
is no longer processing "load" commands, neither interactively from the
prompt nor from the /boot.cfg file. In either case, modstat shows that
the specified module(s) are not loaded. (The only module shown with
source=boot is ffs, the root filesystem.)
Has anything changed in this area recently?

Interesting. This would explain why my usual method of installing
from a release build by putting:
menu=Install NetBSD:load /miniroot.kmod;boot install
in my boot.cfg and these links:
lrwxrwxr-x 1 root wheel 92 Jan 24 2011 miniroot.kmod@ -> usr/obj/distrib/amd64/cdroms/installcd.amd64/cdrom/amd64/installation/miniroot/miniroot.kmod
lrwxrwxr-x 1 root wheel 56 Jan 24 2011 amd64@ -> usr/obj/distrib/amd64/cdroms/installcd.amd64/cdrom/amd64
lrwxrwxr-x 1 root wheel 57 Jan 24 2011 install@ -> usr/obj/distrib/amd64/cdroms/installcd.amd64/cdrom/netbsd
in / hit a panic in scan_sig+0x52 today, but the install CD worked.
