Arrange using the usual Sun mechanisms to boot file 9sscd,
not 9sscpu.  This is a kernel configured as a terminal using a
CD-ROM as its root.  Boot that file, and when it asks you for
the root file system, say
	#R6/cd6
if your CD-ROM is SCSI unit 6.  Follow your nose after that.
Of course you will be unable to use the root as a writable file
system, but you can start kfs, use ipconfig to start networking,
and so on.  Read the manuals.

Hi,

I'd like to ask you a question about Plan9 installation procedure.

I have an un-networked Sparc IPX machine, running SunOS4.1.3, which I am 
trying to configure with the Plan9 OS and I am having some difficulty 
understanding the documented Sparc install procedure. I have a CDROM attached 
to the machines SCSI port and am able to mount the cdrom drive, but i do
not understand how to boot the Plan9 code. Do I copy the 9sscpu file to
root (/) and link to vmunix, then perform: STOP-a >boot? I've tried most of
the URLs and have not found the specific information.

I would appreciate if you can help me...re-direct me.

thank  you for your time.
