Hi Group:
I hope this isn't another dumb question! I can't find it referenced anywhere.
I've been trying to get my NE2000 (genuine Novell) working. It is set at
0x300 and IRQ 5, one of the "acceptable" combinations in the Novell manual.
When I boot from the HD I see a message "using sdC0!9fat!plan9.ini". The
NE2000 gets detected at 0x300 but with IRQ 9.
I want to find this plan9.ini file and add explicit config of
"ether0=type=ne2000 port=0x300 irq=5" to try to get rid of the erroneous
irq 9 that gets autodetected.
I can't find this file on the HD. I've poked around in numerous
directoriies. I see that there seems to be some sort of virtual partition
in /dev/sdC0/9fat, the plan9.ini that I need to modify is in there.
Is there some method of mounting this file as a FAT partition, so that I
can edit the plan9.ini therein?
As an aside the docs say that the plan9.ini on a floppy has a higher
priority (i.e. it's searched for first) than one in a 9fat partition on the
HD. This doesn't appear to be true in practice. Booting with a floppy
containing my customized plan9.ini in the fd0 drive, it seems to be ignored
and I see the "using sdC0!9fat!plan9.ini" message again.
Thanks in advance,
Kevin
