Hi you'all,
let me first say i think plan9 has alot of potential.
my problem is this:
after downloading and installing the 4 disk distribution, i rebooted and
typed (as in the documentation):
plan9\b
it boots alright, but it fails to start the windowing system.
it reports:
fs...time...
init: starting /bin/rc
/bin/dossrv 18: serving #s/dos
init: rc exit status: rc 8:false
init: starting /bin/rc
term%
is this a vga problem? the machine is an 8mb AST 486sx/25 with
a cirrus logic graphics chip. i have tried changing it to 640x480x1,
but that still doesn't help.
Mike
