Re: [PATCH] xnu

[Joey Korkames]

This patch did not work as well as the last one posted (on my test machine). The last one got 
all the way to trying to run /sbin/launchd off the ramdisk - log post of 
this one's boot attempt are attached.

Oh, here is my updated menuentry, works well and gives me serial output 
of the darwin kernel (as well as on the VGA monitor):

menuentry "PureDarwin 9 (phcoder efiemu)" {
       echo "Switching to VESA and booting Darwin (slow)... "
       #bootloader must tickle VESA before xnu can use it
       loadfont /osstore/STAGE1a/grub2/unifont.pf2
       set gfxmode="800x600x32"
       set vbe_mode=0x115
       terminal_output gfxterm
       echo "VESA enabled. Booting Darwin (slow)... "

       #efiemu_loadcore /osstore/STAGE1a/grub2/efiemu64.o
       efiemu_loadcore /osstore/STAGE1a/grub2/efiemu32.o
       efiemu_pnvram
       efiemu_prepare
   
       xnu_kernel /osstore/STAGE2/DARWIN/live/mach_kernel -s -f debug=0x08 serial=2 serialbaud=9600 rd=md0
       xnu_mkext /osstore/STAGE2/DARWIN/live/System/Library/Extensions.mkext
       xnu_ramdisk /osstore/STAGE2/DARWIN/ramdisk.hfs
#       ^^30MB too big? (full /System/Library/Extensions) - yes, box will 
reboot before kernel turnover
#       ^^if ramdisk is invalid, like FBSD, will attempt NFSMOUNT (to nowhere) 
- else, tries /sbin/launchd
}

Thanks
