Rice, Jr. > > If BSDI emulation is the native mode for FreeBSD, then my problem seems to not be executing the binary, but with the semaphore system. When I first ran the program (a database) it failed with something similar to: invalid parameter in some function error 22: no SYSVSEM So I compiled a custom kernel with: options SYSVSHM options SYSVSEM options SYSVMSG Now the program executes, but when I try a query it core dumps with what appears to be more semaphore errors. I'm not in front of the FreeBSD box or I would include the exact error. I did notice that the LINT kernel had many more options that looked semaphore related. How can I know which extra options I need? Is it possible to emulate the complete BSDI and/or SYSV semaphore and messaging? Being that this is a database application I'm assuming this is where the problems are since it needs to do locking, sharing, etc. The database is for a BSDI-3.0 system, but since I don't have a license to run my BSD/OS on more than one machine (but I do for the database), I would like to try to get it going on FreeBSD (which I like more than BSDI anyway).
