I'm having some problems getting my plan9 machine hooked up to the
network. I have successfully completed installation 2 (Install CD-ROM to
local drive). I am now trying to complete installation 3a (Make a PC file
server boot disk), but I can never seem to get beyond the "config:" Q&A
successfully. In other words, my "system crashes horribly" right after I
type 'end' at the config: prompt.
Here's what I mean by "system crashes horribly:"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
config: service cdpc01
config: ip 130.96.6.171
config: ipgw 130.96.6.1
config: ipmask 255.255.255.0

wrenread: D6.0.1.0(0) bad status 0040
stack trace of 1

panic: config io
cpu 0 exiting

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
See what I mean! A stack dump...not pretty.
(please note that I have added a breakdown of my machine and added the
contents of the plan9.ini file to the end of this e-mail message for
reference.)
Per installation 3a instructions, I make the boot diskette and boot from
that diskette. The diskette gives:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please note the "Failed to INIT controller" message. After noting that
my SCSI adapter is SCSI ID# 7, I re-made the boot disk and changed scsi0= to
scsi7= in plan9.ini.
This time I get the exact same messages above minus the "Failed to INIT
controller" line. This seems a little better, but that doesn't change
anything later on. My system still "crashes horribly."
Now I'm stumped. I know that changing scsi0= to scsi7= should not make
things better because in my other plan9.ini files, I use scsi0= and all
works well there. Okay, so by this time I was grabbing for straws...
I would appreciate any and all help that anyone may be able to give. I
have gone through the FAQs and news group but to no avail.
Frustrated,

This is solved.
The plan9.ini on the fs booting floppy has had wrong entry for aha1542,
that is,
scsi0:type=aha1542 port=0x334,
where this line should be
scsi0:type=aha1542 port=0x330.

I forgot this should be ascribed to my fault, or installer (9dos
for fs), although I'd like to believe I did well....

Thanks, this problem has been solved, but....
I applied this patch, and re-compiled 9pcfs, successfully.
After all, I've gotten the same result of Mr. S. J. Bagley of the
orignal poster of this thread. ;_;

Generally speaking, does that directory subsume the errata web page now?

half the message failed to make it out. it should also have said that this fixes
the 3C509 'activate' bug and the fixes can be found on plan9.att.com in the
directory plan9/update/...
