Bug Description
When I try to use unetbootin to create a bootable NetBSD usb stick, it looks like the iso file is not downloaded and placed on the usb stick.
When I look on the usb, the only files I can see after the install completes are Ubnkern, ldlinux.sys, syslinux.cfg, and vesamenu.C32.
The syslinux.cfg file looks like this-------
default vesamenu.c32
prompt 0
menu title UNetbootin
timeout 100
label unetbootindefault
menu label Default
kernel /ubnkern
append
---------- Without any entries that would point to netbsd.
I have also tried using the NetBSD Live! iso image for this and the entries for NetBsd are there in the syslinux.cfg file, but when I try to boot from the usb, I get an error that says "Invalid kernel" for any of the entries I choose (netbsd.gz, acpi.gz, laptop.gz, or smp.gz)
My computer boots fine from the CD which is burned from the same iso image.
It seems like the boot loader that Unetbootin is using isn't going to the right place in the iso to boot from. Should it be pointing somewhere in the grub folder?
