I'm willing to resort = to=20 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 wa= s=20 going to go for vmware on Windows, but while it ran FreeBSD pretty well,=20 before I had even percolated the disk layout enough to trigger the bug=20 (required root-on-zfs) I was hoping to trigger, the vmware configuration to= ol=20 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? =2D-=20 / Peter Schuller PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller ' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to getpgpkey@scode.org E-Mail: peter.schuller@infidyne.com Web: http://www.scode.org --nextPart5677405.VBiEmWhc7q Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBHwwGtDNor2+l1i30RAvboAKDDj4LK9hoywdaCh6PasZug280lfgCgp5SQ sXZ7jjHrTncVQv+hgEIT1NY= =/4fU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart5677405.VBiEmWhc7q--
