Someone, please correct me >if I am wrong. No, you're not wrong. I had a look at it a couple of years ago but I can only allocate a LDom guest to FreeBSD and FreeBSD has no support for any of the virtualised devices. Implementing the infrastructure to work with the sun4v hypervisor is a non-trivial task and I never managed to make any real progress. I'm unaware of anyone else who has done anything in the past few years. --=20 Peter Jeremy --vkogqOf2sHV7VnPd Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.15 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk15KEgACgkQ/opHv/APuIex2ACgwDttt7YmTPXI6dihqS4cKD+I irgAnAk8A2mWtsR8HxZRAyl8ItF0r8BA =RWZB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --vkogqOf2sHV7VnPd--
