Re: [9fans] Even more bitsy questions

[Axel Belinfante <Axel.Belinfante@cs.utwente.nl>]

I do not have many answers, but I do have a question:

does susend/resume work for you?
If so, what bootloader version do you use? (what bitsy type?)
For me it only works if I resume within 30 seconds or so.
(my bitsy kernel is old, however)

Searching the archive might help; in the past there
have been discussions about using an external keyboard,
that may have some relevance.

I use a script startsd
(original at /n/sources/nemo/sys/src/9/bitsy/paqfiles)

#!/bin/rc
names=(\
	'MK5002MPL' \
	'MK2001MPL' \
)
dev=''
name=''
for (d in /dev/pcm?ctl) {
	for (n in $names) {
		if(grep -s $n $d){
			name=$n
			dev=$d
			echo -n 'configure #SC ata 1'>$d
			bind -a '#S' /dev
			disk/fdisk -p /dev/sdC0/data >/dev/sdC0/ctl
			disk/prep -p /dev/sdC0/plan9 >/dev/sdC0/ctl
			disk/kfs -f /dev/sdC0/fs
			mount /srv/kfs /n/kfs
		}
	}
}
