[9fans] updating 9vx's Plan 9 install

[Daniel Lyons]

On the 9vx homepage, it says 9vx comes with a "minimal" Plan 9
install. How would one go about making into a complete install?
Running /usr/glenda/bin/rc/pull doesn't seem to work:

post...
replica/compactdb: opendb /n/boot/dist/replica/client/plan9.db:
'/n/boot/dist/replica/client/plan9.db' does not exist
replica/compactdb /n/boot/dist/replica/client/plan9.db: compactdb 151:
opendb /n/boot/dist/replica/client/plan9.db:
'/n/boot/dist/replica/client/plan9.db' does not exist
pull 123: test 153: false

Advice?

In addition to the tree Andrey noted, the general
answer is simply to download the normal distribution
image and use that. The effect is the same as using
the tree Andrey pointed to and updating, but you'll
save yourself time and work by just grabbing the
current image.

just mount the image and copy the contents to
wherever you'd like your 9vx root to live, and point
9vx at that.

for a complete install from sources, pull my hg tree and do a mk install

That didn't work. Rio doesn't live long; you create a window and then get this:

invalid opcode f0 0f b1 at eip 00013f3b
invalid opcode f0 0f b1 at eip 00020dc2

And pretty much have to restart it. I'm going to try the other methods.

looks like your 9vx itself is confused, not rio.  that's a lock; cmpxchg.

Using the plan9.tar.bz2 proved more fruitful. Perhaps there's something unsavory about the way Finder mounts ISOs.
