Subject: cant start 9pcfs
Date: Wed, 13 Mar 1996 16:39:29 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <19960313213929.5-q1oSGHmqRD9P_gtP3fGmB1AN0qJ4mijPU7-IxEAqg@z> (raw)
I just scanned by cache of 9fans mail and could not find anything
similar to my problem. I am trying to install a file server (PC).
It has a 3c509 and an adaptec 1542 with a couple SCSI drives hung
off of it. I built a fs boot disk and then tried to boot from it.
It finds the 3c509 and the 1542, complains about unknown int 7
(I guess it does not like a parallel port?), displays info on the
two hard drives, quickly followed by something about iobuf and
some large negative number, after which it immediately clears
the display and hangs. I cannot for the life of me read what it
prints before it clears the display. (Can I boot with a serial
console?) Anyhow, if anyone has seen this, I would appreciate
any wisdom you might be able to pass on.
Other hardware in the system (not all for use by Plan9) is:
Maxspeed (does not use interrupts)
Future Domain SCSI TMC-850 or some such with a CD-ROM and DAT (for DOS)
ATI Ultra VLB video
Soundblaster AWE 32
16MB of memory
Oh, I do not have the Adapatec BIOS turned on, but the Future Domain
BIOS is on.
Thanks in advance.
