it seems to have gotten quite far though your startup rc script
(cpurc or termrc?), look to see what happens next and if there's
something there depends on the hardware. you should be able to
do ^T^Tp to print out the process table, does the keyboard echo?

has anyone fixed the timing loop calculation in clock.c for the
non-intel chips? what does the CPU identification print on system
startup?

Hello 9fans!

I am now trying to install Plan9 on my new hardware to upgrade
my Plan9 system.
The hardware is,
	Mother Board:
	Gigabyte	GA-586SG
	with Award Modular BIOS v4.52PG
	CPU: AMD K6/233MHz
My concern was that Plan9 can run on K6, so I tested the hardware
using the harddisk that has been used as Plan9 terminal.
I removed scsi and ethernet configuration from plan9.ini to make
the situation simple.
The new hardware shows the following messages:
	init: starting /bin/rc
	controller not in /lib/vgadb
	...
	/bin/dossrv 20: Serving #s/dos
and then stopped to show any more messages.
We should see the prompt "term%" if succeed.
Probably it is hanged up.
I know how to configure /lib/vgadb.
My questions are:
1. Does anyone succeed on K6?
2. What posibility should I take into consideration?

Thanks,

Kenji Arisawa
