 <h3>NetBSD/pmax:</h3>
 
-<p>
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
+<p><a href="http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/pmax/">NetBSD/pmax</a> was the
+first guest OS that could be
+<a href="http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-pmax/2004/04/18/0000.html">installed</a>
+onto a disk image in GXemul. The device emulation of the DECstation
+5000/200 is reasonably complete; it should be enough to emulate a
+networked X-windows-capable workstation.
+
+<p>NetBSD/pmax 1.6.2 works perfectly with X out-of-the-box. Unfortunately,
+newer NetBSD releases have changed slightly, and nowadays X does not
+work straight away. (It seems that this has to do with NetBSD switching
+console system to "WSCONS" somewhere between 1.6.2 and 2.0. I haven't had
+time to figure out how to make it work; at worst it might require a kernel
+recompilation.) What this means is that if you want to use emulated X11,
+then you need to run NetBSD 1.6.2. If you feel that you only need
+serial-console emulation, then choose the latest NetBSD version available.

+It is possible to run Debian GNU/Linux for DECstation in the emulator,

+install ramdisk kernels for this purpose, these do not always work:
+<ul>
+  <li>Serial console output doesn't work too well in GXemul. Linux

+	(The speed at which serial interrupts are generated can be
+	lowered with the <tt>-U</tt> command line option, but it only
+	reduces the risk, it doesn't take away the oopses completely.)
+  <li>Old install kernels supported the graphical framebuffer on the
+	3max, but not the keyboard.
+  <li>For quite some time, the MIPS linux cvs tree had support for the
+	keyboard, but it did <i>not</i> include Debian's patches for

+<h3>OpenBSD/arc:</h3>
+
+It is (almost) possible to install and run OpenBSD/arc on an emulated Acer 
+PICA-61 in the emulator.
+
+<p><font color="#e00000">Earlier, I had this guest OS listed as
+officially working in the emulator, but for several reasons, it has 
+been moved down here to the "informative-but-not-really-working" 
+section.</font>
+
+<p>
+<ul>
+  <li>The last OpenBSD/arc release was 2.3. This means that it is very
+	old, it would not give a fair picture of what OpenBSD is (if you
+	are just looking to find out what it is like), and it is not
+	worth experimenting with it. See
+	<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/arc.html">http://www.openbsd.org/arc.html</a>
+	for more information.
+  <li>OpenBSD/arc was (if I understood things correctly) never really 
+	stable, even on real hardare. Problems with too small an interrupt
+	stack. Bugs are triggered in the emulator that have to do with
+	issues such as this.

+
+<p>To install OpenBSD/arc onto an emulated harddisk image, follow these

+  <li>Create an empty harddisk image, which will be the root disk

+	<b>dd if=/dev/zero of=obsd_arc.img bs=1024 count=1 seek=700000</b>
+
+</pre>
+  <li>Download the entire arc directory from the ftp server: (approx. 75 MB)<pre>
+	<b>wget -np -l 0 -r <a href="ftp://ftp.se.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/2.3/arc/">ftp://ftp.se.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/2.3/arc/</a></b>
+
+</pre>
+
+  <li>You now need to make an ISO image of the entire directory you downloaded.
+	(I recommend using <tt>mkisofs</tt> for that purpose. If you don't
+	already have <tt>mkisofs</tt> installed on your system, you need
+	to install it in order to do this.)<pre>
+	<b>mkisofs -o openbsd_arc_2.3.iso ftp.se.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/</b>
+
+</pre>
+  <li>Start the emulator using this command line:<pre>
+	<b>gxemul -e pica -X -d obsd_arc.img -d b:openbsd_arc_2.3.iso -j 2.3/arc/bsd.rd</b>
+
+</pre>
+	and proceed like you would do if you were installing OpenBSD
+	on a real Acer PICA-61. (Answer 'no' when asked if you want to
+	configure networking, and then install from CD-ROM.)
+</ol>
+
+<p>
+Once the install has finished, the following command should let you 
+boot from the harddisk image:
+<p>
+<pre>
+	<b>gxemul -X -e pica -d obsd_arc.img ftp.se.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/2.3/arc/bsd</b>
+
+</pre>
+
+The system is very sensitive to (I think) kernel stack overflow, so it 
+crashes easily. If I remember correctly from mailing lists, this also 
+happened on real hardware.

+<h3>Debian GNU/Linux for CATS:</h3>
+
+Debian GNU/Linux for CATS (ARM) could <i>theoretically</i> run in GXemul,
+however:
+
+<ul>
+  <li>The DEC 21143 NIC is not emulated well enough for Linux to accept it.
+  <li>Development of Debian for CATS seems to have died? The latest
+	install kernel is quite old.

+	<b>gxemul -XEcats -d debian_cats.img tftpboot.img</b>
+
+</pre>
+</ol>
+
+<p>It doesn't work, though, because the NIC isn't working well enough.
+
+<p>The only use of Debian/CATS in the emulator right now is as a way to
+manipulate Linux disk images, if you are on a non-Linux host. By choosing
+"Execute a shell" in the installer's menu, you can have access to tools such as
+fdisk and mke2fs, which are useful for creating Linux paritions on disk images.

+
+I've added a semi-bogus machine mode which tries to

+<a href="http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/">QEMU</a>.
+
+<p>Follow these steps to download and run the Linux/QEMU_MIPS test
+ramdisk kernel:

+<p><ol>
+  <li>Download <a href="http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/mips-test-0.1.tar.gz">mips-test-0.1.tar.gz</a>
+	from <a href="http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/download.html">http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/download.html</a>,
+	and extract its contents (<tt>tar zxvf mips-test-0.1.tar.gz</tt>).
+  <p>
+  <li>Test it in GXemul using the following command line:<pre>
+	<b>gxemul -E qemu_mips -o 'console=ttyS0 root=/dev/ram
+		rd_start=0x80800000 rd_size=10000000 init=/bin/sh'

+Sometimes QEMU is faster than GXemul, sometimes it is the other way
+around. A quick (and quite unfair) test on my laptop (1.8 GHz Turion ML32,
+I think, in AMD64 mode) comparing QEMU 0.8.1 installed as a binary package
+from FreeBSD ports with GXemul gave the following result:
+
+<p><pre>

+<p>The commands were run inside the emulators, using the ramdisk kernel

+Old versions of Windows NT could run on MIPS hardware, e.g.

+such hardware well enough to fool Windows NT into thinking
+that it is running on a real machine.

+		your CDROM drive. (On FreeBSD systems, it is
+		usually called <tt>/dev/cd0c</tt> or similar. Change
+		that to whatever the CDROM is called on your system,
+		or the name of a raw .iso image. I have tried this
+		with the Swedish version, but it might work with
+		other versions too.)
+	<p>
+	<li>Create an empty harddisk image, which will be the disk image
+		that you will install Windows NT onto:<pre>
+	$ <b><tt>dd if=/dev/zero of=winnt_test.img bs=1024 count=1 seek=999000</tt></b>

+</pre>
+	Note that <tt>ARCINST</tt> <i>almost</i> works, but not quite.

+	$ <b><tt>gxemul -X -e pica -d winnt_test.img -d bc6:/dev/cd0c -j MIPS\\SETUPLDR</tt></b>
