<h3>Introduction</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>FreeBSD/xbox is a port of FreeBSD which aims to run on Microsoft®
|
|
Xbox® systems. This project was started by <a
|
|
href="mailto:rink@FreeBSD.org">&a.rink;</a>, who did most of the patching
|
|
and coding. <a href="mailto:ed@FreeBSD.org">Ed Schouten</a> helped with
|
|
reviewing patches and he also provided details on certain Xbox
|
|
internals.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Status</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>FreeBSD/xbox is supported in FreeBSD 6-STABLE and FreeBSD 7-CURRENT.
|
|
The framebuffer, Ethernet, sound and USB devices
|
|
(such as an USB keyboard for the console) are all supported.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In order to aid people in installing the FreeBSD/xbox port, a combined
|
|
install/livecd has been <a
|
|
href="http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2006-August/027894.html">created</a>.
|
|
It is available <a
|
|
href="ftp://ftp.stack.nl/pub/freebsd-xbox/">here</a>.</p>

<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). 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>
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Note</b>: Several Xbox drives are known to reject certain types of media.
|
|
Should you experience random hangs, panics or corruption during installation,
|
|
try a different known-working DVD/CD-ROM.</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 FreeBSD/i386
|
|
installation and set up the /boot/xboxlinux.cfg configuration
|
|
file yourself, so Cromwell can determine which kernel to load.</p>
