Re: 2.0 installer integration
Ok, I added CD support to the virtual kernel, and I can boot it!
But the installer still doesn't quite work because it is trying to
access all the vidcontrol modes on the virtual terminals, and it wants
to switch VTs as well.
Does anyone know any pfi.conf magic we can specify to have it not
use multiple virtual screens?
Alternatively it would be possible to create a feature where the real
machine could 'connect' to the VT devices on a live virtual kernel...
that would be a pretty cool feature if you ask me. Anyone want to have
a go at it? It would mean using the kqueue API in the vkernel to set
up a unix domain socket on the real machine to accept from, then be
able to connect to the socket from the real machine. Not trivial, but
not difficult either.
