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!
