There are several obstacles. MBR needs to find PBR PBR needs to find /boot /boot needs to find /netbsd /netbsd needs to mount / Even when you can make grub load /netbsd directly from an LVM partition you still fail because the kernel doesn't understand LVM until it starts the rc scripts. For regular bootstrap you need - LVM support and autoconfiguration in libsa, this helps PBR and /boot - LVM autoconfiguration in the kernel
