Hey, I have a quick question
What are some cool kernel hacking environments? I've been dropping down
to single user mode and mounting my /usr ro to avoid fsck time, and have
been thinking of using bochs or vmware to try to expediate things, maybe
with a 100 meg 'disk', then put most of the filesystem in using NFS...
Anyone had good luck with bochs or vmware? Any other cool approaches?
Unfortunantly, I only have on machine available for the task, so I can't
chain a 'dummy' machine off of a work machine with ethernet and serial
debugging :) Just looking for ideas and maybe good urls or docs
(in case it's important, I'm running -current on an x86 with a slew of
ram and hdd, and I've used dosemu on linux to do ms-dos assembly stuff
in the past with great result)
