our floppy driver has problems.
in a few days i expect to put together
an updated boot disk, and i will have it
mount the floppy twice. i think this
particular problem is caused by floppy
drives with long spin-up times. we time
out and give up too quickly.

I have been annoyed with this problem.
I will be glad if this is fixed.

Thanks Boyd, problem solved. Just:
kill dossrv | rc
rc /rc/bin/termrc
rc /usr/glenda/lib/profile
is good enough to get it back on track.

This sounds like the boota: problem:
Subject: [9fans] /rc/bin/boota:
Date: Sun, 28 Apr 2002 19:30:09 +0200
From: Boyd Roberts <boyd@strakt.com>
...
When boota: sees that I'm booting off sdC0 it then
sets adisk to:
/dev/sdC0/data
This is not good. If I change it to:
/dev/sdC0/dos
everything works as planned.
This entails:
kill dossrv | rc
cd /rc/bin
chmod 777 boota:
ed boota:
10s/data/dos/p
w
q
rc termrc
rc /usr/glenda/lib/profile

Hi,
My installation of plan9 v4 failed after seeing:
kfs...version...time...
dossvr: serving #s/dos
mount: mount /n/a:: unknown format
cp: can't stat /n/a:/plan9.ini: '/n/a:/plan9.ini' does not exist
......
init: starting /bin/rc
%
obviously, somehow the installer couldn't mount my floppy,
but then from rc prompt:
%a:
%ls /n/a:
%
works just fine. Any hint on how I should proceed from here?
Thanks!
