The Hewlett-Packard IA-64 instruction set simulator for Linux/x86 To get the ski to run on NetBSD/i386, you need the following: compat_linux support in the kernel: http://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-linux.html procfs support in the kernel: http://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-linux.html#chap-linux-emulating-procfs mount /dev/pts: http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-kern/2004/11/08/0016.html Tip: You can run the ski emulator with qemu usermode emulation on non-i386 platforms. Run the ski binary from within an xterm window. BUGS: the xserver version xski doesn't currently work.
