Add NetBSD 32bit and 64bit images to the netboot.xyz #1437

Closed novaTopFlex closed 3 months ago

novaTopFlex commented 3 months ago

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like NetBSD images to be added to the BSD menu on netboot.xyz. NetBSD is another (relatively) major distribution "distro" of the BSDs and I believe that since NetBSD is an appropriate basis for routers and the like, NetBSD deserves to be properly added to the netboot.xyz menu.

Describe alternatives you've considered

If the 32-bit NetBSD image is not available, I would still like to include the 64-bit version in the appropriate context (x86_64).

Additional context

Right now, the only two (2) BSD systems available from netboot.xyz are OpenBSD and FreeBSD, but I believe that NetBSD may actually be slightly more commonly used in certain environments and niches and am not sure how exactly to add such NetBSD images to netboot.xyz.

Not currently any good paths to use NetBSD with iPXE. If that changes or someone knows of a way to load them, please update the issue.
