I am using VirtualBox on Vista to run OpenSolaris and PC-BSD .. it is great= ; it's pretty much comparable to qemu with acceleration, but better. Unfortunately the FreeBSD port is stuck: at some point the basic stuff was = working but the independent guy that was working on it lost interest. The b= ig step is porting the kernel components that need FreeBSD specific knowled= ge. I am not sure if we need someone from SUN/VB to do the port, maybe a FreeBS= D kqemu hacker would be the right person. Pedro. ps. I updated devel/bin86 with amd64 support (PR ports/125614) in the hope = that it will be useful for such effort.=20 =0A=0A__________________________________________________=0ADo You Yahoo!?= =0APoco spazio e tanto spam?
