[9fans] Pull and compile latest kernel (sys call 53 error)

[Patryk Laurent <plaurent@me.com>]

Hello,

How should I properly update to the latest kernel on a new install of Plan 9 from Bell Labs?

I downloaded Plan9, ran the "pull" script, and then tried to compile and install a new kernel by running mk install in /sys/src/9/pc

Compilation seemed to go fine, but then I got an syscall 53 error (the error seems to come from "ar", see below).

Thank you,
Patryk
