I have installed the last CD image of 9legacy. The installation was without problems but in the first boot after the installation was ready, without modifying anything, the boot stop because:
*usb/disk... boot: can't connect to file server:'/boot/kfs' does not exist*
Is this a problem of my computer or why the installer does not install this file server if it is necessary for the first boot? I have tried to modify the plan9.ini, the bios options and I have put the hard drive in other computers, but I have not been able to move forward from this line.
Thanks,
Antonio

Hi Antonio,
I replaced boot for an rc script time ago, but if I recalled correctly, this is because
boot can't find fossil's configuration in any hard drive, so it tries to find a kfs, but
the default kernel configuration doesn't include kfs in bootdir, so it gives you that error.
Boot from the live CD and try using fossil/conf in your fossil partition to see if there is
a configuration stored or not.
Regards,
adr.

Oh, by the way, if you are using a usb hard disk, boot will screw with partfs and
the usb disk's partitions will not be exposed. That's the main reason I replaced it.
If that's the case, take a look in the mailing list archive, Richard Miller gave some
workaround storing the config in the first sectors of the disk.

Now works, the partition was corrupted. The problem I think it was with prepdisk. I used all the disk but later, in another installation, I made a smaller partition but prepdisk detected the old partition with the old size. I try to format fossil but in the end, the partition was not very functional.
If the partition didn't change of size I think that it is hard for me to have the partition like new, prepdisk detect the old partitions.
I formatted the partition with ext4 and put files on it, but prepdisk detected as Plan9 partition during the installation. Now I used fossil+venti and this made new partitions scheme and after this, all is now working.
Regards,
Antonio
