Support for multiboot was added to the NetBSD bootloader so that it could boot Xen, I didn't consider whether it should be able to boot Linux or test that. If it can boot Linux as well then that is good to know.

Not sure about booting Linux. Some Linux bootloaders cannot boot NetBSD, e.g., syslinux. The FreeBSD bootloader, which is multiboot compliant, can boot NetBSD. At least this was the case years ago. Pardon me if I am ascribing intent to what is merely fortuitous.
