Re: Windows support status

2015-06-23 Thread Peter Grehan

Does that UEFI Firmware come with a way to running very old
things, e.g. DOS 6.2.2, Windows 3.11 or Windows 95?


 Eventually :)


What's the timeline for bringing it into 11.0-CURRENT?


 Headless operation will be supported shortly. The native graphics work 
will take longer to trickle in.


later,

Peter.

 Hi Leo,
 
 Forgive my ignorance, but when you talk about the UEFI build I
 don't suppose you mean that one must run the UEFI version of
 FreeBSD, right? I assume you mean that bhyve is presenting UEFI
 to the guest.
 
 That's right. We have a custom build of Intel UEFI firmware that
 gets placed into guest ROM space. This is different than the
 previous approach of having external user-space loaders
 (bhyveload/grub-bhyve).

Cool! Does that UEFI Firmware come with a way to running very old
things, e.g. DOS 6.2.2, Windows 3.11 or Windows 95?
 
 Will one be able to run this on 10.1-RELEASE, or must one use 
 11-CURRENT?
 
 It'll be on 11-CURRENT initially and will be backported to
 10-STABLE. I don't know think it's going to make the 10.2 cutoff
 :(

I remember asking you in Ottawa about it, but forgot your answer.

What's the timeline for bringing it into 11.0-CURRENT?

 
 later,
 
 Peter.
