There is an unfixed bug on the nvmm hypervisor or in the uefi bootloader and it does not work. It's me that I've discovered the bug and I was in contact with the developer,but I haven't no more news about him.
Recently I had a requirement to run a Linux application, with some
dependencies on Linux packages. My attempt was to run it on NetBSD and if
not feasible at least a BSD.
I tried out Linux emulation on FreeBSD. With the debootstrap package you
get a complete Ubuntu environment on FreeBSD. Using apt I could install
all the dependencies and the above requirement could be met quite
effortlessly.
I also saw some howtos that get chromium browser and even DRM working on
FreeBSD.
In principle, as NetBSD does have Linux emulation, I thought, all of this
should be possible on NetBSD as well. But why don't we get it that
seamlessly on NetBSD?
Can we not have an equivalent of debootstrap and leave the Linux
installations to the user, than, for example, creating *-bin packages in
pkgsrc?
