yes I it is really finding the NetBSD kernel

I would not recommand booting the NetBSD kernel with GRUB2 as a standard
setup as I could not make it work with extra paramaters ( like -s for
single user mode )

However as I said before, it is a nice alternative if you want to
install NetBSD from a GNU/Linux system without using install media
