Thanks, but Minix v3 is much more complicated than xv6.

Original Message From: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, December 6, 2015 8:40 AM To: [email protected] Subject: objcopy / xv6 question Hello, I am trying to compile and run xv6 on OpenBSD 5.8, a simple Unix Version 6 clone for educational usage. I changed the Makefiles, so that it compiles fine on OpenBSD (mail me if you need a copy). Sadly enough, I still can't boot the xv6 image in qemu. I noticed that the 'initcode' target produces a binary that is way too big, compared to the initcode binary on other hosts (eg linux). The command that generates such a big binary is $(OBJCOPY) -S -O binary initcode.out initcode I am not sure, why do I get binary 'initcode' with 128MB? I am not sure if this is the bug why xv6 doesn't boot, but I also do not understand why I am getting such a big binary from that command? Is this a bug in objcopy? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks, - dl
