Indeed, this seems not possible at the moment. I use options DKWEDGE_AUTODISCOVER and DKWEDGE_METHOD_GPT, but this only "takes over" the bootdevice I already loaded the kernel from, so works for "config netbsd root on ? type ?" but not for hardwiring the config to dk0. I wonder if you could hardwire it to sd0 instead and dk0 would take it over from that? This is a bug and needs to be fixed. Martin
