Hi Michael,
Sorry if I am late, but only now I had time for read this: http://www.update.uu.se/~micken/ronetbsd.html

Extremely interesting and, at the same time, extremely fast to read,
I have only one question:
Have you created two more GRUB partitions (separate one from each other) to boot the 2 systems?
it would be interesting to know more about the boot phase because honestly I can't understand if there could be problems related to the probe of the connected devices (like, if the 2 OS at the same time probe via PCI for the same hardware at the same time, could an error occur? for example something like "device busy, impossible to connect with it"?)
It would be very interesting for an article about an advanced Fault Injection methodology that I've been thinking about for a long time.

Let me know,
Regards,
Edoardo Mantovani, 2021

Hi Edoardo,

I have done something similar with RISC OS and NetBSD. but in that case I did drivers in NetBSD for getting something to output framebuffer on. So most hardware was been running in RISC OS.
You can read about it here:

Ah ok, now is more clear, but Honestly with no abstraction layers, I cannot think how this could be possible in real life (never seen something similar),
But the idea of  ""split"" the cpu or at least occupy more than 1 cpu for this task can be cool.

But, if i can ask, what benefit would you  get from this action?

No. Both systems is running natively at the moment. If first tried to
start Genode from RISC OS, but Genode refused to run on anything else than
boot cpu (core 0). That is as cpu0.
