Hello,

Thank you for your quick reply.
 
>Are you running on a recognised CPU and the speed is correct?
CPU speed shown from 9pcfs is correct. I have added a patch by forsyth.

The floppy is created using Plan9 pc/bootfloppy that is rewritten
following Russ.
------ pc/bootfloppy ------
#!/bin/rc

if(! ~ $#* 2) {
        echo 'usage: bootfloppy /dev/fd0disk plan9.ini'>[1=2]
        exit usage
}

if(! test -f $2) {
        echo $2 does not exist >[1=2]
        exit noplan9.ini
}

mkdir /tmp/bootfloppy.$pid
cp $2 /tmp/bootfloppy.$pid/plan9.ini
dd -bs 512 -count 1 < /dev/zero >/tmp/bootfloppy.$pid/plan9.nvr
disk/format -b /386/pbs -f -d $1 /386/9load /tmp/bootfloppy.$pid/*
rm -rf /tmp/bootfloppy.$pid
-------------------------------

9pcfs is copied using Windows98 because I have never succeeded in
copying file when I did on Plan9.

By the way, I will classify bellow what I can do or not.
1. pc/bootfloppy 		--- works fine
2. cp diskimage /dev/fd0disk	--- works ( but not fine )
3. cp file n/a:/file	--- always results in destruction

The result is:
getclust0 @ 0
getclust seek addr 0
getclust read addr 0
can't read block
can't read boot block
panic: can't init dos dosfs on fd.

And Okamoto:

The PC are:
GA-5AX with K6-2/300
ASUS P5A-VM with K6-2/350
Bus clock 100MHz makes a trouble?

By the way, I tried the boot disk to a PC with celeron/466.
The result was fine. It was straight until I got the "Config:" message.

curiouser.  my usual diagnostic is not having the floppy appear
at all.  sounds like time to get back into that trench.

good luck sir!

Heh, if I could only be that lucky. :-)

	Btw, is plan9.bell-labs.com going to be the official plan9 sit, ...

We're still feeling our way through doing disributions etc.  It
may be a while before we've decided how to do this long term.
Until thenm, we'll continue to assemble and redistribute changes.

You mean:
    http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9dist/ureg.html

Btw, is plan9.bell-labs.com going to be the official plan9 sit, or is
there another domain planned?

no, of course not, but who's going to choose to write for Plan 9 rather
than Linux? my lwm window manager for X, for example, was originally my
modified version of 8.5 while i was at York. it didn't seem worth making
diffs for that, because no-one would have used it. people i knew would
run it from my bin, but that was it. when i wrote lwm, those same people
would ask if they could have the source so they could use it at home.

my point was about "the enticement of having users". it's a lot nicer to
know that someone other than just you is using your programs. [unless
it's paid programming, in which case users are a pain in the bum ;-)]

Hmm. kernel hacks, maybe, but surely there wasn't any restriction on
distributing brand new applications, or those ported to Plan 9?
