Hey Reinoud, sorry I totally missed that email... On 11/13/24 22:31, Reinoud Zandijk wrote:
Impressive! I haven't tried out your tiny minimal NetBSD VM piece yet but this is great too. Have you tried out the pkgsrc's `dmassage' utility with the small kernels dmesg to strip down the kernel too so it doesn't even try to attach stuff that won't be present anyway?
I didn't! I didn't even know such tool existed, FWIW when I did my first experiments, I came up with something in the same spirit: https://github.com/NetBSDfr/smolBSD/blob/main/kstrip.sh which gave birth to another tool written by Denis Bodor: https://gitlab.com/0xDRRB/confkerndev But in any case, the kernels I use for this project are already stripped down: https://github.com/NetBSDfr/NetBSD-src/blob/nbfr_master/sys/arch/amd64/conf/MICROVM Cheers, -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Emile `iMil' Heitor <imil@{home.imil.net,NetBSD.org}> | https://imil.net
