Subject: Installation Problems

Message-ID: <19951213165338.kDWGlW8VTCMkDK06jHAcmy31r38FwY7yCZK7v5AAMns@z> (raw)
I have installed the 3-disk system on my PC, but when I try
starting Plan 9, I don't even reach VGA hell. I've tried 2
ways of running plan9\b
1. plan9\b (from c:\)
This gets me to the 'File System Installation' window,
the beginning of the process I think I just finished.
2. plan9\b s!0!boot (from c:\)
This shot in the dark, cooked up after reading parts of
section 8 of the manual, seems to take me farther, but
ultimately it fails, too. I see...
scsi0: aha1542: port 330 irq 11, dma 5
root is from (local, 9600, 19200, il) [local!#w0/sd0disk:32]:
user [none]:
I take the defaults and see something very like...
fs...kfs init 3: can't open #w0/sd0disk32
boot: mount: write to hungup stream
panic: boot process died: unknown
...followed by several lines of hex numbers that I'll be glad
to provide if they'll help someone help me.
More information:
The scsi line above is correct. I am using a BusLogic 946C
host adapter. Plan 9 recognizes my 2 scsi disks well enough
to allow me to choose either as the target of the installation
process. I have a dos partition on scsi0 that takes a 3rd of
1 GB. The rest is unallocated, as is the whole of scsi1. I'm
using a version of the distribution I ftp'd on 28 November.
Here are a few lines from plan9\plan9.ini that may be relevant:
scsi0=type=aha1542 port=0x330
bootfile=sd!0!/plan9/9dos
rootdir=/plan9
bootdisk=#w0/sd0disk:32
Of course, I'll provide any other information I can, but I'm
not sure what else might help, so I'll hope to be asked.
Thanks.
