Guys, I'm still using the 'use the block device major' number hack which seems to work with vn(4) too; just got VMware booting off disk images this way. I have written a MAKEDEV script which sits in my /compat/linux/dev directory now for playing with vn(4)-attached images, if anyone would like a copy, it's at http://www.incunabulum.com/code/MAKEDEV.vn. [ Oddly enough, boot0 is willing to try to boot off a PCMCIA CompactFlash adapter if it sees it as a secondary IDE device inside VMware. ] BMS To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
