+.Dt MULTIBOOT 8 x86
+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm multiboot
+.Nd procedure for booting NetBSD/x86 from a Multiboot-compliant boot loader
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+Multiboot is a specification that defines a protocol between a boot loader
+and a kernel.
+This protocol allows passing boot information between the two in a standard
+way, allowing any Multiboot-compliant boot loader to boot any
+Multiboot-compliant kernel.
+The
+.Nx
+kernel supports Multiboot if it was compiled with
+.Cd options MULTIBOOT
+(the default in the
+.Sq GENERIC
+and
+.Sq GENERIC_LAPTOP
+configurations).
+.Pp
+Unlike when using the native boot loader, the
+.Nx
+kernel recognizes a set of command line arguments if booted through a
+Multiboot-compliant boot loader.
+This is because the Multiboot protocol is not complete enough to completely
+configure a
+.Nx
+kernel.
+.Pp
+The following arguments are recognized:
+.Bl -tag -width consoleXspeedX
+.It Va console
+Specifies the console device name.
+Can be one of
+.Sq com
+or
+.Sq pc .
+If the former,
+.Va console_addr
+and
+.Va console_speed
+should be given too.
+.It Va console_addr
+Specifies the serial port address for the console.
+Defaults to the value of
+.Cd options CONADDR
+or
+.Sq 0x3f8
+if this was not given.
+.It Va console_speed
+Specifies the serial port speed for the console.
+Defaults to the value of
+.Cd options CONSPEED
+or
+.Sq 9600
+if this was not given.
+.It Va root
+Specifies the name of the device to be mounted as the root partition.
+It should not be needed because the kernel tries its best to guess which
+is the root partition (basing the decision on the device from which the
+kernel was loaded from).
+In cases where the automatic detection fails, this flag comes useful.
+Example:
+.Sq root=wd0e .
+.El
+.Ss Booting with GRUB Legacy
+GRUB Legacy is the most popular bootloader that supports Multiboot.
+You can boot a
+.Nx
+kernel (assuming it is compiled with Multiboot support) with a line
+similar to the following one:
+.Bd -literal
+kernel (fd0)/netbsd.gz -c console=pc root=wd0e
