NetBSD maggie 3.99.20 NetBSD 3.99.20 (M0) #7: Sun May 28 22:34:50 BST 2006 root@maggie:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/M0 i386
>Description:
Non-multiboot kernel booted via grub-0.97nb5 using the following section:
title NetBSD-noMB
root (hd0,2,a)
kernel --type=netbsd /m0 console=pc root=wd0a
The required parameters - root device, swap, filesystem type and path to init - are not passed to the kernel and a queried during boot. If one has the VGA splash screen enabled, it does not get cleared when the query is being made and one has to blindly type the four responses.
>How-To-Repeat:
Grub-boot a non-multiboot kernel with enabled splash screen.
>Fix:
For now - use chainloader if splash screen is on and multiboot have to be disabled. If multiboot has to be enabled, then a grub line similar to the above, but without the --type=netbsd part, works.

Is this PR talking about the grub splash screen, or the NetBSD
vesafb/SPLASHSCREEN code?

The same issue applies for any interactive boot process. This can be
very annoying for things like:
- cgd passphrases
- SSL servers passphrases
- file system checks
