Great news! It tried / played with that on my bananapro with some limited success: - I just managed to boot successfully a netbsd elf kernel via network / pxe. (How to disable / reorder pxe booting?) - I was not able to bootarm.efi this kernel from its local ffs2 (!) netbsd partition on the sdcrad. Is bootarm.efi limited to ffs1? - In case of a connected sata disk: Is it possible to directly boot from that via bootarm.efi (or specify explicitly a boot device)? Once the kernel is found and loaded everything seems to run fine! Regards, Markus.
