it boots, but only partially and only in a simulator. Benno Rice is doing the major part of the port right now, the rest of us are waiting for the kernel to be finished so we can lend a hand. About your issues with darwin... Have you looked into XF86, you can easily do multiple virtual terminals with that. Or if you're really a sadist, you could probably get getty running on a couple of virtual terminals like they do in linux. Darwin has all the major features of fBSD, it just handles IO and some kernelspace stuff differently. For the time being you'll probably have more success tweaking darwin, than waiting for fBSD. -James Quoting Andrew Gould <andrewgould@yahoo.com>: > Hello, > > I'm not sure whether I'm emailing an individual or a > mailing list.
