Subject: problem with b.com on new pcdist?
Date: Wed, 15 Nov 1995 01:17:20 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <19951115061720.ZEkJXvbKYw_qwkm-y9L6grI_avAwAHUuLx11j6DpIXI@z> (raw)

Is it just me, or has anyone else been unable to get the latest b.com
(from the 14Nov pcdist) to recognize "hd" as a valid boot device?  I booted
the first floppy which built c:/plan9, then rebooted.  Ran b.com as usual to
continue the floppy install.  It silently ignored the bootfile line in
plan9.ini and booted my old kernel off h!0 instead.  If I try
"b hd!0!/plan9/9dos", it barfs and tells me the only valid devices are h!0 and
s!0.  I got the new pcdist to load by using an old version of b.com.
