Whatever was hurting me as far as the CDROM was concerned, it works now. I just installed FreeBSD-3.3 as a client OS on VMware. It even booted the FreeBSD cd directly, no need to use the floppies.

Should there be one? OK - there was something wrong with the cpu- and meminfo files that I had grabbed from a Linux box. Running the fakeprocfs script did it - the machine powered on!

Disabling IDE 0:0 seems to help, but what good is a virtual machine without a hard drive? Vladimir's page says that raw devices are supported, but I refuse to give it a real device. I tried faking a raw device with vnconfig, but vmware didn't like it (although the configuration editor let me edit the faked device). This is with Soren's ata driver - I haven't tried the old one (yet).

The problem was related to the fact that the disk was located in /usr/local/vmware. Linux applications look for /usr in /usr/compat/linux/usr, and I had a symlink from /usr/compat/linux/usr/local to /usr/local, because I needed to be able to access /usr/local from Linux apps. When I initially tried to create a virtual disk in /usr/local, VMware died but had seemingly succeeded in creating a virtual disk file. When I restarted VMware, I continued to use the same file, which was wrong (the file was probably corrupted). Creating a file in /usr solved the problem (it was actually created in /usr/compat/linux/usr). This is something for Marcel to think about (there was also another message about symlinks outside /compat/linux). There's one odd thing, though. Every time I start VMware, it complains about not being able to lock the file: "An error occurred while attempting to lock disk /usr/solaris. VMware cannot detect if other processes are using this disk at this time. If your disk is on a FAT filesystem, this message is harmless. You can press OK safely if you are certain that no other application is currently accessing the disk. Press OK to continue, Cancel to abort. If you choose not to show this hint in the future, an OK answer is implied." > > Vladimir's page says that raw devices are supported, but I refuse to > > give it a real device.

In fact, I used the vn0c device to mount a boot floppy image, and specifying /dev/vn0c instead of /dev/fd0 in VMware seems to work.

DGA is supported under emulation (and works). However, it's probably not all that's required to make full-screen modes work. VMWare seems to require only 2 device symlinks: tty0 and tty7. tty0 goes to /dev/ttyv0, and tty7 should go to whichever ttyv you're running X on (e.g. for me it's ttyv6 and not ttyv7). When I start VMWare it briefly goes full-screen, saying "Testing display... please wait", and then drops back into standard window mode, complaining about not being able to use tty8 for full-screen VGA mode. When I gave it an extra tty to play with (symlinking tty8 to ttyv1), it failed to set the right mode, corrupting the screen and wedging the system.

Currently in graphics modes only, until something is done to make FreeBSD consoles aware of Linux-compatible ioctl's that VMware uses to switch into a text mode. As far as I understand, VMware uses the following scheme: 1) Standard mode If the guest system is in text mode, VMware emulates it as graphics in a 640x480 X window. Otherwise (graphics mode), it adjusts the size of the X window to the resolution used by the guest OS (which is usually 640x480 unless special drivers are used - see below). 2) Full-screen mode If the guest OS is in graphics mode, VMware uses DGA extensions of the X server to go full screen. If the resolution used by the OS is less than that of the X server, it centers it in the middle of the screen. For a true full-screen effect, the guest OS must use the same resolution (and colour depth) as X. If the guest OS is in text mode (e.g. 80x25), VMware tries to use the following trick: initialize the next available console (tty8) to use the same text mode as the guest OS. This part is Linux-specific and doesn't work under FreeBSD. It doesn't even work under Linux if the kernel is compiled with framebuffer support. Hopefully, the missing ioctl's shouldn't be hard to implement, but I don't have a Linux box handy to give it a go. So far, I have been able to run Solaris 7, Corel Linux and Windows 98 under VMware/FreeBSD. VMware.com has some drivers for Windows, Linux and FreeBSD to enable them to run inside VMware at higher resolutions than standard VGA (nothing for Solaris). Windows looks really cool in full-screen mode (1024x768 on my laptop); it's almost impossible to tell the difference between a VM session and the real thing, except that under VMware it freezes for a few seconds every now and again, apparently due to lack of /dev/rtc. VMware actually displayed a warning about /dev/rtc and that it only seems to affect Windoze systems. Now for vmnet... Vladimir?

The first limitation about host-only networking, just mean that to setup connection between virtual machine and a rest of the world, you are need to bringup gateway on our host.

New vmware port created symlinks in the linux /dev directory. So anybody can try to launch vmware in fullscreen mode. For me it doesn't work when I'm switching to full screen mode, the monitor going black and all. With some manipulation with ALT-FXX keys, I can return back to the X, but vmware already died.

Just a fact, vmware like block wd0, and don't like character ad0 or rwd0.

BTW has vmware helped you at all?? I and some others have told them that they really do owe you quite a bit!! Now, I just wish that I could get it to build on my system. Here is the output from "make install". I last built the world on Sunday or Saturday. I would do it right now but on my p200 with 64mb ram it takes about 6 hours. I am trying to get a new machine but that will not happen for a few months yet... If necesary, I will gladly rebuild my system tonight. However I read someplace that -current is broken. Also, I am sure that a lot of the output could be snipped but I would rather send to much info rather than too little. Feel free to snip whatever is not important.

Okay, I tried that with the packet driver from AMD & from Russel. Neither of them work. So far what I get is that they say they found the PCNET device at mem 0x1000 and irq 9. Which is correct according to a booted Win95 or FreeBSD. However, neither Etherboot or the Netboot with a packet driver sends any packets out vmnet1 (I'm running tcpdump on vmnet1). Note I have Win95 & FreeBSD setup to use DHCP/BOOTP and they both work. Did you try to use Netboot and get it working? If you did please send me a copy so I can try it in my setup. My setup is running vmware as a non-root user with the linux procfs module and network in Host-only mode. If you want I can send you mine. Thanks, Doug A.

If this is the initial system installation, the Linux emulator is not active, hence this fails. If noone objects, I will add a run of ldconfig to our linux(8) script. It is pretty harmless, so I think it can go into 3.4 even when taking murphy's law into account.

Just a proposition. Copy basic installation to a hard drive and prepare dos bootable diskette, and install Windows 98 from raw partition.

I'm not sure I understand. I did try to create a recovery floppy on real Windows 98 machine, but it doesn't boot either. Does Windows have a problem with my K6-III CPU I wonder?

Package foo installs Linux shared lib libbar.so while Linux emulator is not loaded. ldconfig will fail. This is harmless for now, since Linux binaries cannot be executed anyway. After reboot of a configured system - this time starting the Linux emulator - the Linux ld.so will still have its old cache, not knowing about libbar.so. I'd like to run /compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig /usr/lib /lib /usr/local/lib /usr/X11R6/lib from the linux(8) script just as FreeBSD's ldconfig is run from /etc/rc.

This is harmless for now, since > Linux binaries cannot be executed anyway. What if other Linux binaries are executed as part of package install? These also fail because the Linuxulator is not loaded. The result is an incomplete installation, just as for the ldconfig case. > I'd like to run > /compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig /usr/lib /lib /usr/local/lib /usr/X11R6/lib > from the linux(8) script just as FreeBSD's ldconfig is run from > /etc/rc. First of all, don't specify any paths. Any non-standard directories (which are /lib and /usr/lib) should be added to /compat/linux/etc/ld.so.conf. Secondly, I don't really like this but can't see a better way at the moment to handle this. I'll remain indifferent... -- Marcel Moolenaar mailto:marcel@scc.nl SCC Internetworking & Databases http://www.scc.nl/ The FreeBSD project mailto:marcel@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-emulation Sat Dec 11 13:19:47 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org Received: from zippy.cdrom.com (zippy.cdrom.com [204.216.27.228]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id CC578152E2; Sat, 11 Dec 1999 13:19:45 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jkh@zippy.cdrom.com) Received: from zippy.cdrom.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by zippy.cdrom.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id NAA91754; Sat, 11 Dec 1999 13:19:53 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jkh@zippy.cdrom.com) To: Martin Cracauer Cc: freebsd-emulation@FreeBSD.ORG, jkh@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Linux emulator and ldconfig at startup (in 3.4?)

Ahhh, of course, and then loading the linux emulator will rebuild it for you, resulting in no apparant dysfunction. Sorry, I just wasn't thinking. If nobody else can see any fundamental problems with this, I'm all for it. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
