Hi james, Are toi try to update gribouille ans boot netbsd in to grue ? How tou boot on micro$oft ?
How tou boot on Windows an Linux for switch between ? I suggest édit grue for boot for all tour système... UEFI havé juste 100Mo for big Kernel is small, may be nerf to upper it... i imagine netbsd is the kernel to enough. Best regard & tale café.
