Minios is more of a Megaos from the perspective of what rump kernels really need from the "firmware" layer. All that we really need is thread creation/scheduling, Xen hypercall bits and the I/O driver frontends, and out of those the first one is not specific to mini-os. I've been toying around with the idea of merging rumprun-xen as a "bare metal" platform. Using unmodified mini-os doesn't really affect this, though we'd most likely select the bits we need with reachover Makefiles instead of the build being minios-driven. Anyway, it's a game in my head for now, but I think it's something that I'd eventually like to make happen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Comprehensive Server Monitoring with Site24x7.
