I'm interested in trying to run OpenBSD using VMX on 9front. Can someone give
me an example of how I'd set this up and run it?
% vmx -M 128 -n ether0 bsd
Where "bsd" is the OpenBSD 6.2 kernel. I must be missing more to it than just
this? Thanks for any help.
vmx(1) documentation in the dash1:
http://fqa.9front.org/fqa8.html#8.7.5.1
script i use to run openbsd:
http://plan9.stanleylieber.com/rc/openbsd
in my setup opensd is the first hard drive and 9front
is the second. vmx(1) runs openbsd from the hard drive
installation.
note: per
Very cool!

Chrome and Firefox work, if you're willing to wait as
I've always found performance to be terrible for OpenBSD even on
physical hardware, so I can't really hold that against vmx..

while we're on the subject, here's a half-assed script called
'inception' to boot your 9front kernel in a vmx instance on a terminal
while sharing the host's fs.
#!/bin/rc
# inception
rfork ne
ramfs
ip=`{ndb/query sys $sysname ip}
aux/listen1 -t 'tcp!*!564' /bin/exportfs -r /root &
cat >/tmp/
Yes, you get full graphics, but performance is terrible (the frame buffer is
emulated entirely in software). You can run any browser, and everything works,
but probably not fast enough for regular use. I have used Chromium in a pinch
to login to Patreon, PayPal, etc.
Gimp also works fine (if ve
Also, Windows NT support! nice touch :)
