====================================================================== This Java VM will attempt to detect the number of processors and other system information by accessing files in linux's procfs. You must install the Linux emulation procfs filesystem for this to work correctly. The JVM will core dump otherwise. This can be accomplished by adding the following line to your /etc/fstab file: linprocfs /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0 and then, as root, executing the commands: kldload linprocfs mount /compat/linux/proc Also, you must use a kernel with the option USER_LDT enabled. Note that this option is not enabled in the GENERIC kernel, so you will need to compile a kernel with this option if you haven't already done so. NOTE: The JVM does not currently exit correctly unless the application has a specific call to System.exit(). ======================================================================
