my system should run in far less memory. something like 2-4MB. but first I need to have a system running so that I can monitor with qemu the addresses accessed for read execute and write by the code run by the emulator. if I reach that is a real big deal. dacian

The arm versatilepb emulation can accept a range of processors (I've tried armv4, armv4t, armv5, armv6, and armv7), provides a PCI bus with a virtual hard drive controller and network card, and can accept 256 megs of ram. (In theory it can accept more but I have to get the discontiguous memory stuff to work, haven't done that yet.) That's the one I used in Aboriginal Linux arm images. Rob
