[9fans] r4 install woes

["Anthony C. Zboralski" <acz@vaubansys.com>]

everything seems to work fine under vmware 3.1.

The performance under vmware is acceptable except for cpu intensive
tasks like compiling software or kernel.. I guess I still have to find
some real hardware to run plan9. Does it works on a SGI o2?

I installed my standalone CPU server by following the related instructions
in the plan9 wiki http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/plan_9_wiki
and in http://www.acl.lanl.gov/plan9/newnetwork/cpu.html

For the newbies who want to grab my configuration and compile an auth/cpu
kernel quickly:

cd /sys/src/9/pc
hget http://hert.org/plan9/pcauth >pcauth
mk 'CONF=pcauth'
9fat:
cp /sys/src/9/pc/9pcauth /n/9fat/
cp /sys/src/9/pc/9pcauth /386
hget http://hert.org/plan9/plan9.ini >/n/9fat/plan9.ini

To make my cpu server listen for cpu command on port 17010
so terminals will be able to use the cpu command:

disk/kfscmd allow
cd /rc/bin/service
echo '#!/bin/cpu -R' >il17010
echo '#!/bin/cpu -R' >tcp17010
disk/kfscmd disallow

Is this the right way to set it up?

for wiki

echo 'tcp=wiki port=17035' >>/lib/ndb/common

I tried installing inferno on both my cpu/auth server and a terminal.and
both installation failed.

cpu% cat /adm/users

Inferno Third Edition (18 Jun 2001) main (pid=1634) compile

Only LICENCE is installed in /usr/inferno. My inferno.tgz file installed
flawlessly on Linux and Win2k. I can't try the Oct 2001 version since it is
an incremental update.

The md5sum of my binaries are as follow:

56fc2a81f1398e5685467e0927c2271d   Plan9.tgz
cf9f1c3abfcecce1ba4e0db005e0cb7f   inferno.tgz
