all - last night while discussing the ELF problem on IRC with Jan and Joseph, Jan tried booting xMach on a FreeBSD box with a *NetBSD* init, and had a good deal more success than previous attempts had provided. unfortunately, everything is still not all swell, and here are the results of my try: /* snip - mind you, these were handwritten, so some stuff may be lacking ;) */ emulator [1] e_mapped_timeofday init failed 2 init: wait for /bin/sh on /etc/rc failed: No such child process; go to single user mode server_exec_open: emulator "/xMach/etc/emulator" not found: 49154 emulator [3] e_mapped_timeofday init failed 2 (CORRECT TIME STAMP) init: can't get /dev/console for controlling terminal: Operation not permitted server_exec_open: emulator "/xMach/etc/emulator" not found:49154 (CORRECT TIME STAMP) init: /bin/sh on /etc/rc terminated abnormally, going to single user mode Enter pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh: /* end snip */ upon hitting return or entering a pathname to a shell, i was quickly greeted with the "emulator ... not found" error. problem is that the emulator *WAS* there. the other irritating thing was that the #ifdef DEBUG'd printf() statements i put into the e_mapped_time.c file didn't show up. the extraordinarily irritating thing was that even though the correct time was showing up (where "CORRECT TIME STAMP" is above), upon reboot the time on my machine returned to being hosed. argh. so tomorrow it's on to more grepping & debugging. and thinking about how we really need our own userland ;-) - ian mondragon ps - hey jan. <pat on the back> again. -- @end Ian Mondragon - < copal @ dragonhelix . org > < h t t p : // d r a g o n h e l i x . o r g > <<< F r e e B S D -- O b j e c t i v e - C >>>
