Hello, since Linux' support for some hardware is better than FreeBSD's, it would be nice to have an *optional* way of running a FreeBSD system (userland, including all third party programs) on top of the Linux kernel. This would be somewhat the reverse of /boot/kernel/linux.ko, some kind of adaptation layer between Linux kernel and our libc, loader etc... If we had this feature (perhaps as a port), it would be convenient to boot into Linux kernel when FreeBSD-non-supported hardware is needed; of course keeping FreeBSD kernel as the default, high-performance optimized one for all normal cases. Perhaps someone's already working on this, but I can't find any hints or pointers to it. Thanks, -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/
