froggey: I got a dual boot system running and wrote a document on how to do it. I'll include it in a PR at some point.

I have a couple of questions though. In the image running standalone, (mezzano.supervisor:all-disks) returns nil. I was hoping to do some file system work.

Also, my USB mouse didn't work - in fact it seemed to break the trackpad. I assume that means we need a driver for it?

The network didn't work but I don't know if that's a configuration problem or a driver problem.

freestanding tells the system to not use a paging disk at all, this disables swapping & taking snapshots

no-detect disables most hardware detection, that's probably why your disks aren't showing up

USB keyboards & mice are unreliable because there's no USB stack. the BIOS emulates a PS/2 device and a lot of them tend to be buggy. it might work better if you boot with the mouse attached, or it might not...

if you have an rtl8168, it should show up in peek's network page, but the network stack is configured for virtualbox's virtual network by default

I'm booting with freestanding, but tried both with and without no-detect. I'll try booting without both and see how that works.

froggey
freestanding won't change what hardware is detected. if removing no-detect doesn't help then removing freestanding won't, and it probably won't boot at all
14:53:21
fittestbits
Yeah, removing freestanding broke the boot. The disk is an ATA device, is that what you're asking?

what kind of controller is it attached to? AHCI, IDE, some kind of other SATA controller, something else?
