One neat thing is the rump kernel.

I had a very old DOS formatted diskette and when I tried to mount it on Linux, FreeBSD and got a panic.

NetBSD just came out with rump and I did some reading and gave it a try. I was able to mount after a couple of attempts and copy about 90 % of the Text File (a large file). No panics except under rump, but main system was happily moving along.

How does that work? I would like to see an example.

That was a while ago, but docs were great and easy to follow. I have not needed to try rump in a while so all forgotten.
