FPU > detection bug will be solved in 0.5.6. 1.6.2 works perfectly for me, installed from i386cd.iso. That's rather wonderful, because I've wanted to play with NetBSD for a while. I haven't noticed any FPU detection bug, but then, I'm using CVS snapshots. All in all, though, NetBSD 1.6.2 works as it would in=20 VMWare -- even better, in fact, since it doesn't like to install under VMWare unless you twiddle with the IDE slave / master settings and then hope a lot and have some luck. Not mentioned: OpenBSD 3.5. From the small part of the installation that I've tried, it works fine. I'll do a full install later. Also not mentioned: DragonFlyBSD. It's on my TODO list. Since it's still mostly FreeBSD at this point, it should be mostly fine. Also ^ 2 not mentioned: FreeBSD. Haven't tested it much. It doesn't seem able to detect the QEMU virtual hard disk. Is there something peculiar about this drive? If not, I'll boot NetBSD, get the specs, and see if I can't figure out why it's not finding it. The small amount of FreeSBIE that I've tested works fine. Note to those testing FreeSBIE: it takes a while to boot because of the kernel's hardcoded HZ value. This is mentioned in QEMU's FreeBSD port pkg-message. > Windows 2000 OK 0.5.5 Long hardware probe.=20 Will try it once I get a copy. > Windows XP ? 0.5.5 Some people can launch it.

PowerPC Emulation

Don't suppose that there's any chance of this working on a non-GNU host?=20 Particularly with speed somewhat equivalent to that of i386-softmmu? :)=20 PearPC is great, but a bit too slow for my taste as of yet. --=20 I abhor a system designed for the "user", if that word is a coded pejorative meaning "stupid and unsophisticated". -- Ken Thompson - Unix is user friendly. However, it isn't idiot friendly. --k+w/mQv8wyuph6w0 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFAz0cFk/lo7zvzJioRAldjAJ0eMKA69OU8BwdXruk+UCE2YAjRhACfZgh0 PZKxVo2xR3hJmu49ourUBQg= =m9nc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --k+w/mQv8wyuph6w0--
