[9fans] plan 9 install problems.

[Steven Fines]

Hello all,
After I completed the plan 9 install and wrote an MBR for it, I rebooted
and it came up to the following line:

root is from(il, local)[local!#f0/fd0disk]:

After the loging in as glenda it crashes with the error:

kfs...boot: nop...kfs init 6: can't read #f0/fd0disk

I am assuming that this error is caused because it's looking on the boot
floppy, which I've removed from the system.

I tried the install again, just to be sure that I wrote a plan9 boot
sector.  So My question is, how do I change where the boot loader is
looking?
I tried variations of local!#sdC0/sdC0disk as parameters to the root is
from: request, but nothing that I've tried has worked.

Thanks,
SF

Is there a place where this can be configured as the default, with a timeout?
I'd like to see my Plan 9 boxen boot unattended for various reasons I can't
really seem to support technically just now =^)

Yes, see plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9dist/errata.html.
You need to remove the bootargs= line in your
plan9.ini file.
