Didn't know about it. Looks very interesting. But it looks like you can run RUMP kernels on top of Linux or any other OS (no need for a NetBSD kernel). """ Q: On which hypervisors can a NetBSD rump kernel run? A rump kernel runs on a hypervisor called rumpuser which implements a set of high-level operations such as “create a thread” and “allocate a page of memory”. My crossbuild script hosted on GitHub can build NetBSD-based rump kernels on Linux, FreeBSD, DragonFly BSD and Solaris. To give an example, I’ve used a NetBSD-based rump kernel on a Raspberry Pi running Arch Linux. I’ve also run NetBSD-based rump kernels on Windows and a web browser’s JavaScript engine, so if you have a wild imagination, only the sky is the limit.
