[-- Attachment #1 --] Hello, I was wondering what people use, in the abscense of suitable actual hardware, to debug/develop FreeBSD (the kernel in particular). I'm willing to resort to almost any host, including Windows, as long as I have something reliable. I haven't had much luck with qemu (crashes), nor virtualbox (crashes). I was going to go for vmware on Windows, but while it ran FreeBSD pretty well, before I had even percolated the disk layout enough to trigger the bug (required root-on-zfs) I was hoping to trigger, the vmware configuration tool crapped out on me and produced a configuration it could not itself read. What do all you regular kernel developers use, if not physical hardware? -- / Peter Schuller PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller <peter.schuller@infidyne.com>' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to getpgpkey@scode.org E-Mail: peter.schuller@infidyne.com Web: http://www.scode.org [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBHwwGtDNor2+l1i30RAvboAKDDj4LK9hoywdaCh6PasZug280lfgCgp5SQ sXZ7jjHrTncVQv+hgEIT1NY= =/4fU -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
