I am trying to run NetBSD 7.0 i386 on an android device using qemu based limbo pc emulator.
The emulator is not available in Google Play (why?), has to be downloaded from sourceforge. I tried a couple of small Linux distros over it, though they eventually ran into errors or hung. They I tried NetBSD which ran absolutely cleanly. The installation using a bootable iso and subsequent downloading of sets etc. went through absolutely fine. Speed over such arrangement is not great, but that is to be expected. Suspend-resume feature saves booting time which helps. If there are any other tips, such as from choice of cpu model that would help improve performance, please do share. The cpu model drop down has these options: x86 (default, I have chosen this) qemu32 coreduo 486 pentium pentium2 pentium3 athlon n270 Default(64 bit) qemu64 phenom core2duo kvm64 Default(x86) The host hardware is arm7, single core. I am also hoping to get sound work. The limbo pc emulator provides following audio device options: sb16 ac97 es1370 hda all I tried, hda and later "all", though in neither case NetBSD guest could detect any audio device. Would appreciate comments/inputs on the same. Mayuresh.
