Boot assumes that it is run as root, and assumes that quite thoroughly.
It's exactly my task, to make every user able to run their own subhurd.
You need to have boot simply not even *try* to open such a device. Note
that boot isn't calling your servers at all. It calls the ones of its
containing environment.
I assume that store_parsed_open fails because it doesn't have
permissions on the underlying /dev node.
yes. but to be specific, it really depends on how we run boot.
If we run "boot -T device servers.boot hd1", what store_parsed_open does
is to open the device by calling get_privileged_ports() and device_open().
In this case, there is nothing to do with /dev nodes, and my proc proxy
might be able to give a help:-)
