It has been ported to FreeBSD by Mark Newton. + +To use it: + +1. Add "pseudo-device streams" to your kernel config file and rebuild, + reboot. + +2. Build and install the svr4 module in /sys/modules/svr4 + +3. Type "svr4" to start it up. + +4. Grab compat_sol26.tar.gz or compat_svr4.tar.gz from + http://www.freebsd.org/~newton/freebsd-svr4 and install them in + /compat/svr4 + +5. Run "sh SVR4_MAKEDEV all" in /compat/svr4/dev + +6. Mount a Solaris/x86 CD-ROM on /cdrom + +7. Brand any executables you want to run + +8. See if they work. + +It's early days yet, folks -- You'll probably have trouble getting 100% +functionality out of most things (specifically, poll() on a socket doesn't +look like it works at the moment, so Netscape doesn't work (among other +things)). Patches will be appreciated (use send-pr). + + - mark newton + newton@atdot.dotat.org + + |
