Hi,
I have a Laptop with an LS120 disk instead of a floppy.
The initial bootstrap works, then it complains it cannot
find the kernel file.
I creaded a FAT (MSDOS) partition and copied the floppy to it.
I then found I could load the OS by answering
"sdC0!dos!9pcflop.gz" as the kernel file.
Now the kernel is asking where to find its root filesystem,
sugesting [local!#S/sdC0/fs]. If I accept this then
the LS120 disk whirs and the system hangs.
I beleive the root filesystem exists as the root.vd (virtual
disk) file which I have copied to the FAT partition.
My problem is I don't know how to tell the kernel
where to find it.
I've looked in the on-line manuals for plan9.ini,boot,booting
and a few others, unfortuantely I haven't managed to work out
what to do.
Thanks for any/all help
-Steve
