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> + + <h3>Links</h3> + + <ul> + <li><a href="http://www.xbox-linux.org/">The Linux Xbox project</a></li> + <li><a href="http://www.xbox-bsd.nl/">The FreeBSD/xbox project</a></li> + </ul> + + &footer; +</html> |
