Hello Xbox-Linux developers,

Next to the announcement today that FreeBSD has been ported to the Xbox,
I'm also proud to announce that I've ported Raincoat to FreeBSD and
probably NetBSD.

The code hasn't been thoroughly tested; Rink Springer was able to backup
my Xbox's ROM and the contents seemed rather familiar (we could find
strings from Cromwell 2.40). The reason writing has not been tested, is
because the Xboxes Rink and I own both use the TSOP and don't have a
modchip or such.

The patch is located at:

	http://test.g-rave.nl/junk/raincoat-0.7-bsd.diff

This patch also fixes a -SEGV because of a faulty open(2) catch (open
returns a negative value on failure, not a 0). It also makes the 'Must
be run as root' message a little more meaningful, because on BSD systems
the mem(4) device is optional.

Yours,
--
