<h3>Booting on FreeBSD-CURRENT kernels</h3>
<h3>Booting FreeBSD-CURRENT kernels</h3>
<p>In order to boot FreeBSD 7-CURRENT from CVS, you must have an up-to-date
version of the Linux/xbox BIOS, called Cromwell (failure will result in your
kernel crashing immediately after loading). This is only available using <a
href="http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=54192">anonymous CVS</a>, so you
must check out the Cromwell module and build it yourself. Additional
information about Cromwell can be found on the xbox-linux.org website.</p>
<p>In order for Cromwell to load the FreeBSD kernels from an UFS partition,
you will also need <a
href="http://rink.nu/downloads/patches/cromwell-ufs.diff">this patch</a>.</p>
kernel crashing immediately after loading). A Cromwell with FreeBSD UFS
patches (this will make it able to load a kernel directly from an UFS file
system) is available in the ports tree at /usr/ports/sysutils/cromwell; it
can be flashed to the EEPROM using the /usr/ports/sysutils/raincoat port (as
long as your Xbox is below version 1.6).</p>
<h3>Installing on the hard drive</h3>
<p>You can do an installation using the Live CD's, but you will need to do
everything manually. It is suggested to prepare your disk using an i386
computer running FreeBSD, and set up the /boot/xboxlinux.cfg configuration
everything manually. It is suggested to prepare your disk using an FreeBSD/i386
installation and set up the /boot/xboxlinux.cfg configuration
file yourself, so Cromwell can determine which kernel to load.</p>
