It's not _designed_ to work that way, but given the fact that "everything is a file" in Unix, it's entirely possible that it will work.

As I understand it, you HAVE TO use a raw disk for qemu at present, though I cannot recall the reason for it right now. But this will not help you "make use of existing Windows (XP) installation". I believe the OS itself, at the very least, must be installed by qemu - correct me if I am wrong. In any case, the following instructions work for me: http://www.freebsdforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44204 -- Tore From owner-freebsd-emulation@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Nov 28 14:17:24 2006 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [69.147.83.52]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E010816A500 for ; Tue, 28 Nov 2006 14:17:24 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from anderson@centtech.com) Received: from mh1.centtech.com (moat3.centtech.com [64.129.166.50]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5277D43CAD for ; Tue, 28 Nov 2006 14:17:11 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from anderson@centtech.com) Received: from [10.177.171.104] (dhcp-171-104.centtech.com [10.177.171.104]) by mh1.centtech.com (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id kASEH63s063981; Tue, 28 Nov 2006 08:17:07 -0600 (CST) (envelope-from anderson@centtech.com) Message-ID: <456C43F6.2050809@centtech.com> Date: Tue, 28 Nov 2006 08:13:10 -0600 From: Eric Anderson User-Agent: Thunderbird 1.5.0.7 (X11/20061015) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Tore Lund References: <45373B31.6020200@pobox.sk> <6a1189840610190209q39220af1m1bb3bca1f7378008@mail.gmail.com> <20061128081856.M33318@pobox.sk> <20061128064043.a8245e8e.wmoran@collaborativefusion.com> <20061128121353.M96221@users.sf.net> <456C32C7.8030608@netscape.net> In-Reply-To: <456C32C7.8030608@netscape.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Virus-Scanned: ClamAV 0.88.4/2253/Tue Nov 28 05:46:16 2006 on mh1.centtech.com X-Virus-Status: Clean X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.5 required=8.0 tests=AWL,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.1.6 X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.1.6 (2006-10-03) on mh1.centtech.com Cc: freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org Subject: Re: running windows applications and making use of existing ms windows installation X-BeenThere: freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Development of Emulators of other operating systems List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 28 Nov 2006 14:17:25 -0000 On 11/28/06 06:59, Tore Lund wrote: > mato wrote: >> Do you think I could supply raw disk device directly to Qemu ?? > > As I understand it, you HAVE TO use a raw disk for qemu at present, > though I cannot recall the reason for it right now.

I didn't try very hard though. Second - VMWare Workstation 5.5 (for Windows) will allow booting a raw device, and I am actually using (right now) a vmware machine booting to my local hard drive, which has dual booting set up (one partition windows, one FreeBSD). Natively I usually run FreeBSD, however sometimes I boot into Windows, use it for a while, and simultaneously boot up my vmware machine, which loads the regular FreeBSD partition that I normally use, and boots up. I use X (1920x1200 resolution even), networking, etc, just like normal. It's very fast (hard to tell the difference from native). A few disclaimers: - I have an Intel Core 2 Duo, which has virtualization on the processer, which VMWare workstation takes advantage of. - You need enough memory for Windows, and FreeBSD. Windows itself will want 512mb, so plan accordingly. - You'll need to tweak some xorg.conf settings (or use a separate xorg.conf like I do) when inside the vmware workstation. Also (as the forum points out in the link above), win4bsd is pretty good. The latest stable version is pretty decent. I run Quicken 2006 inside it, and it does indeed work well, and is pretty snappy.

[patch] Jung-uk, is this something you intent to commit soon, or is there some stuff which needs to be changed first (the same questions applies to the mknod stuff which removes the need to fsck the FS to get rid of some unaccessible files after running the LTP)?
