==== FreeBSD host notes: - needs to run as root in order to use /dev/tap* networking (why?) - slirp (usermode networking) is fixed now in cvs, on FreeSBIE 1.0 guests you still have to manually do: echo nameserver 10.0.2.3 >/etc/resolv.conf but i've been told that that's normal. (fixed on FreeSBIE 1.1.) and you have to wait a bit for dhclient to do its thing; traffic to address 10.0.2.2 is routed to 127.1 on the host. - expect timer problems when guest kernel HZ is > hosts, for example time sleep 1 takes 49 seconds and booting sleeps for minutes at the acd0 probe with a FreeSBIE 1.0 guest, thats because its kernel is built with HZ=5000, and FreeBSD's default is 100... (no longer a problem with FreeSBIE 1.1.) The linux 2.6 kernel uses 1000 by default btw. Enabling /dev/rtc doesn't seem to help either (not included since it needs a patch to emulators/rtc.) - using physical media doesn't work on 4.x hosts (missing DIOCGMEDIASIZE ioctl.) - the -smb option (smb-export local dir to guest) needs the net/samba port/package installed in addition to qemu. ====
