BOCHS 2.1 runs NeXTSTEP 3.3 / i486

I blew the whole day but at the end even the network is up and
running!

I had to hack ne2k.cc a bit and load some 3rd-party ne2000 driver plus
diddle with /etc/rc.net due to an awk bug and set up /etc/hostconfig

Great news! Could you post the changes you had to make to rc.net and
give us an idea of how fast it runs on your machine (and details of
your machine)? I've been using VMWare 3 but now the 2.6 kernel doesn't
run VMWare.

I don't know about VMWare 3 but VMWare 4 does run on 2.6. You just
need the right patches. update49 on
ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/vmware/ should do the trick. Maybe the
modules for VMWare 4 work with VMWare 3 too?
