Hi,
I'd like to know if it is possible to run FreeBSD binaries
on NetBSD/i386. I know the a.out format has been changed
several times in NetBSD, not sure about FreeBSD.
A related question: how would one migrate from
FreeBSD to NetBSD? The disklabel and filesystems
should be identical, but the latest NetBSD release
I know of is ancient (1.0) and doesn't boot on my
computer. FreeBSD installs easily.
Can one compile the NetBSD kernel on a FreeBSD
machine? Would it run? How about device numbers?
Thanks for any replies,
Dirk
