Re: Help getting vbox .vdi imares to run under Freenas
Hi Nils, can I do this inside of a jail? I'm on FreeNAS, so I don't want to (and can't) install and compile a lot of stuff in the main FN host. From what I've managed to read up on, jails don't get the full networking, but at the grub stage I should be OK, correct? I've not tried it but I believe so. The /dev/vmm device file would have to be made available in the jail. later, Peter. ___ freebsd-virtualization@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-virtualization-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

All the diagnostics I've done have said that the image looks good (extracting MBR, looking at it with fdisk -l under Linux, etc.) Thanks Nils Running it under gdb is probably the best (since it's a curses app, so you will have to use the techniques in http://www.dirac.org/linux/gdb/07-Debugging_Ncurses_Programs.php) later, Peter. ___ freebsd-virtualization@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-virtualization-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
