Subject: [9fans] simple question: I want boot to bring up an rc prompt in boot()
Date: Fri,  7 Apr 2006 12:20:58 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4436AD8A.8000503@lanl.gov> (raw)

Is there some simple way to set up an (e.g.) pccpu such that when boot()
runs, after it sets up the basic namespace, it drops me into an rc
prompt? This would help me with debugging.

In the past I've done this by hacking on boot.c; I'm wondering if I'm
missing something.

thanks

ron
