This will freeze or reboot the machine with no way to -recover or diagnose the problem. -.PP -To avoid this, -.I realemu -is used to emulate the execution of the -.SM BIOS -routines by interpreting the machine instructions and intercepting -dangerous actions that would compromise the systems stability. -.PP -Running -.I realemu -with no arguments, it mounts itself before -.B /dev -and -replaces the original -.B /dev/realmode -file in the current namespace. -.PP -Then programs like -.IR vga (8) -can use it to make ther -.SM BIOS -calls. -.PP -The -.B D -flag will enable debug messages for 9P. The -.B p -and -.B t -flags -control tracing of i/o port access and cpu instructions to -stderr (fd 2). -.PP -When a -.I srvname -is given with the -.B s -argument, the default -.I mountpoint -is ignored and a -.SM 9P -channel is created in -.B /srv -that can be used to mount -the filesystem from another namespace. If a -.I mountpoint -is given before -the -.I srvname -argument then it is ignored, otherwise it will be used. -.SH EXAMPLES -The -.I realemu -process is only needed when accessing -.B /dev/realmode. -To invoke a subshell so that -.I realemu -exits normally after -.B aux/vga -completes: -.IP -.EX -% @{rfork n; aux/realemu; aux/vga -m vesa -l $vgasize} -.SH SOURCE -.B /sys/src/cmd/aux/realemu -.SH "SEE ALSO" -.IR vga (8), -.IR arch (3) |
