I’ve been trying to get a working VM for FreeBSD. However even though I manage to get the system to start and update itself it gives a segmentation error when I open a workspace and type any character at all. I used the latest linux64x64 cog.spur.
Both the 6.0 and 5.3 images behaved the same. To get it to compile I had the comment out the Joystick plugin and edit the baud rates inside the serial plugin. I’m a complete beginner with squeak so I don’t know how to proceed from here.

Based on your comments, I went and tried to verify that the VM still builds.
I have made similar adjustments and was able to build a VM with the recents commits to the Cog branch of the VM.

Can you please build a debug vm and try to recreate the error?
I am very interested in that.

Me too.  If you launch the debug vm with the launch script you can pass the -gdb argument before the image to launch gdb. Then run and find out where it is crashing.
