[Midnightbsd-users] MirBSD-current/i386 in VirtualBox 3.0.0_BETA1 r48728

Thu Jun 18 09:37:45 EDT 2009

Hi folks,

this is the first time that MirBSD works in VirtualBox,
that is, the first time that VirtualBox emulates the i386
architecture instead of $something only closely resembling
it, good enough for Windows® and GNU/Linux, but not perfect.

dmesg of a VM with Vanderpool/Pacifica enabled:

This is a little weird, the floppy isn't set up even.

machdep.bios.diskinfo.128=bootdev = 0xa0000200, cylinders = 520, heads = 128, sectors = 63
machdep.bios.diskinfo.129=bootdev = 0xa0000200, cylinders = 1024, heads = 256, sectors = 0
machdep.bios.diskinfo.130=bootdev = 0xa0000200, cylinders = 1024, heads = 256, sectors = 0
machdep.bios.diskinfo.131=bootdev = 0xa0000200, cylinders = 1024, heads = 256, sectors = 0
machdep.bios.diskinfo.132=bootdev = 0xa0000200, cylinders = 1024, heads = 256, sectors = 0
machdep.bios.diskinfo.133=bootdev = 0xa0000200, cylinders = 1024, heads = 256, sectors = 0
machdep.bios.diskinfo.134=bootdev = 0xa0000200, cylinders = 1024, heads = 256, sectors = 0
machdep.bios.diskinfo.135=bootdev = 0xa0000200, cylinders = 1024, heads = 256, sectors = 0

WTF? Hotplug, or what?

machdep.cpuvendor=GenuineIntel
machdep.cpuid=1787
machdep.cpufeature=126614463
machdep.osfxsr=1
machdep.sse=1
machdep.sse2=1
machdep.xcrypt=0
hw.model=Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E6750 @ 2.66GHz ("GenuineIntel" 686-class)

Probably the host CPU passed through.

hw.cpuspeed=330

Who cares, it can play MP3s (with OSSv4 on Kunterbunt
Hardon Heroin, which is what we have at work).

I've yet to try XFree86® inside, as well as a non-HVM
installation, but this looks better than ever before.

bye,
