Subject: [9fans] recent Bell .iso images don't boot in QEMU
Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2014 10:09:57 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140224180957.GK8297@HbI-OTOH.berkeley.edu> (raw)
Hey gang,
As per the subject, I tried to start playing with plan 9, but
kept running into this error:
dosinit: can't open #S/sdC0/9fat dosinit #S/sdC0/9fat failed
and gives me a `Boot from:` prompt (which I have no idea what to do with)
My boot command was `kvm -cdrom plan9.iso -boot d -hdc
Plan9.qcow2.img`. This is with
QEMU emulator version 1.7.0 (Debian 1.7.0+dfsg-3), Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard
Linux HbIOTOH 3.12-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.12.9-1 (2014-02-01) x86_64 GNU/Linux
mischief on IRC suggested that I report this finding to the list.
I also saw the same error message trying to boot 9legacy.iso (but
perhaps that factoid should go to another list? forgive my
ignorance).
(I was finally able to get to Rio after getting a 9front.iso)
best,
--
