[Barrelfish-users] netd and howto get files into BF/Qemu

[Simon Peter]

Hi Georgios,

It essentially boils down to you calling vfs_init() before you use any 
file-related functionality. My version of the tree does this 
automatically, by declaring vfs_init() to be a GCC constructor, but that 
might not yet be in the public tree.

Hope this helps,
Simon

I thought of adding them to the skb archive but I was afraid that it could mess other stuff up. Ideally GRUB would do that, like with binaries, but I do not know how...
