  part where I configure the nic.  Is there a way to get virtual terminals
  during the install so I can use the command line.  Everything just locks
  up after I enter my routing info.

The installation is running the Plan 9 window
system, rio.  To get a new window, hold down the
right mouse button on the gray background, select
New (let go).  Press the _right_ button at one corner
of where you want the window to be, move the mouse
to the opposite corner, and let go of the button.

Have a look at http://plan9.bell-labs.com/magic/man2html/8/ipconfig.
The command line used by the install is

	switch($ethermethod) {
	case manual
		ip/ipconfig -g $gwaddr ether /net/ether0 $ipaddr $ipmask >>[2]/srv/log
	case dhcp
		ip/ipconfig $dhcphost -D >>/srv/log >[2=1]
	}

The rest of the scripts are in /rc/bin/dist when
booted off the floppy.

Try adding the option 'nodummyrr' to the plan9.ini line for the NE2000.
See the plan9.ini(8) man page.

Hello all!

I am trying to install plan9.  Everything works fine until I get to the
part where I configure the nic.  Is there a way to get virtual terminals
during the install so I can use the command line.  Everything just locks
up after I enter my routing info.

It seems to like the NIC OK on boot up.  I have an NE2000 compatible
NIC, so I pass the IRQ and IO port in the plan9.ini.

Does this sound like a routing problem, or is it actually hardware.
plan9 wouldn't recognize the hardware and then lock up when it actually
tried to use it, would it?


Thanks,

Justin
