Vladimir, This is tremendous. Thank you for doing this! I'm running your latest port & I've run Win98 and have installed NT4 under vmware. It seems very solid. I was expecting my machine to crash at least once, but it did not ;-) I have a few questions: - Is sound supposed to work? I have sound configured as: sound.present = TRUE sound.device = "/dev/dsp" My native sound device works for other linux things, like RealPlayerG2. cat /dev/sndstat tells me: FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Dec 11 1999 13:41:02 Installed devices: pcm0: <Yamaha SA3> at io 0x530 irq 5 drq 0:1 (1/1 channels duplex) I have set up the sound device in the guest OS'es as per the vmware instructions. However, I do not get any sound. - Are SCSI CD-ROM's supposed to work? When attempting to use one, Windows claims the device is not available & I see many messages on console: Dec 11 16:00:26 grasshopper /kernel: (cd0:ahc0:0:5:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:24,0 Dec 11 16:00:26 grasshopper /kernel: (cd0:ahc0:0:5:0): Invalid field in CDB Dec 11 16:00:37 grasshopper /kernel: (cd0:ahc0:0:5:0): READ SUB-CHANNEL. CDB: 42 0 40 1 0 0 8 0 18 0 After ripping the SCSI CDROM drive out & replacing it with an ATAPI drive, everything works just dandy. - Are you planning on implementing the bridged networking feature? I'm just using NATD now in combination with host-only networking & all I care about is working fine. But I was just curious. I have appended a small patch to linprocfs_misc so that linprocfs reports memory size correctly. Thanks again for the great work! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Andrew Gallatin, Sr Systems Programmer http://www.cs.duke.edu/~gallatin Duke University Email: gallatin@cs.duke.edu Department of Computer Science Phone: (919) 660-6590 --- linprocfs_misc.c.~1~ Fri Dec 3 20:13:01 1999 +++ linprocfs_misc.c Sat Dec 11 16:10:33 1999 @@ -60,6 +60,7 @@ struct proc; + int linprocfs_domeminfo(curp, p, pfs, uio) struct proc *curp; @@ -77,9 +78,10 @@ if (uio->uio_rw != UIO_READ) return (EOPNOTSUPP); - memtotal = 32768; memfree = 32768; + memtotal = (physmem * PAGE_SIZE) / 1024; + memfree = memtotal; buffers = 16384; cached = 8192; - swaptotal = 32768; swapfree = 16384; + swaptotal = memtotal; swapfree = memtotal / 2; memshared = 0; ps = psbuf; To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
