This is not a big issue since the SunOS compatibility is so good, but
why is it that I can't seem to run any Solaris 2.5 programs under
NetBSD-current? I mounted a Solaris /usr partition under /emul/svr4/usr
and tried to run "ls". Nothing, it just gives the prompt back. Solaris
"echo" worked okay, big deal.. Then I tried to run "ksh", and the kernel
panicked with a data alignment fault.
Is there something obvious I am doing wrong, or perhaps has there been
some change between Solaris 2.4 and 2.5 that has broken compatibility? I
am mostly interested in Solaris compatibility, not for SPARC, but because
I want to add the SVR4 emulation to FreeBSD on i386. I want to test SPARC
Solaris emulation at work to see how NetBSD's emulation works, mainly for
this reason. Thanks!
