[9fans] Failure to bootup after installation.

[9fans] Failure to bootup after installation.

[fouRmi]

Hi all

I've succeed in installing Plan 9 on VMWare Workstation. It tells that
"You can power off your computer freely...", and I did, fter i made
Plan 9 active. But when i disconnected the CD-ROM and resetted the
VMWare Station, it halted after it reached ""init: starting /bin/rc".
What should i do next? Are there any mistakes possible during the
process of the installation or the bootup?

PS: I can boot up the VMWare normally with the same Live CD.

Thanks.

Regards.
Orlando Sun

Try changing the CD drive type to be SCSI instead of IDE in VMware.

i'm not 100% certain, but if you see 'init:...' it is passed the
bootstrap where the 'Legacy CD' setting would be a problem.  it sounds
like it is waiting on somehting like ipconfig.  i'm guessing (wag)
the nic for that vm is bridged but perhaps no dhcp server.

Hi, Skip

I found that before i install the Plan 9 on VMWare, there was a
message,

"init: starting /bin/rc
 /bin/dosssrv: serving #s/dos
 #P/i8253timerset: rc (vmware): can't open: '#P/i8253timerset'
permission denied"

What's that for?

Thanks for ur reply and patience.

Hi, Mahmoud

I did as what you said, changed the CD drive type to SCSI. But it
doesn't work. Does it matter much with the boot up even after i
succeed in installing the Plan 9 on VMWare? By which means? Wish you
could show me more guidances. Thanks very much!

Anyhow, thanks for ur reply.

[9fans] ftpfs oddness...

[marina]

Hi All:

I was using ftpfs earlier today to try to make my laptop and extention
of my p9 terminal and i mounted it's dir by ftpfs and i noticed that
if a file was created on the laptop by the laptop ftpfs does not pick
it up.

ftpfs(4):
      BUGS
           ...

           Ftpfs caches files and directories.  A directory will fall
           from the cache after 5 quiescent minutes or if the local
           user changes the directory by writing or removing a file.

           Otherwise, remote changes to the directory that occur after
           the directory has been cached might not be immediately visi-
           ble.

Perhaps ftpfs should flush its cache on a hangup note.

I finally got it all together...
but I forgot where I put it.

if you look for something named .flush.ftpfs i think it flushes its cache

I had similar problem with WMWare Workstation and didn't solve it. I used
Qemu with the image of oszoo.org.

Hi Sergio

I made it! It works very well. It's the first time i am using Qemu.
Small, but it looks cute. Thanks very much!

How can i build my kernel image? How can i configure my settings on
it? Much more to learn :)

Orlando.
