I recently started dabbling with emulating embedded devices (for possible educational use), and your patches worked nicely. I managed to boot and run my own build of your patched -CURRENT kernel under qemu 1.1.1 (qemu-devel on a FreeBSD 8 host) with modest reliability (I can establish network connectivity, ssh in to the guest, run basic executables, but while trying to build a simple Port the guest OS stopped responding to anything but ping). I know your blog says I shouldn't try qemu 1.1.1, but I couldn't resist ;) Under qemu 1.3.0 (on a WinXP Host) the VersatilePB guest successfully built a number of small-ish ports (tmux, ushare, gmake, ..) without freezing or crashing. cheers, gja
