I just = need to boot the kenel, this machine is rented, i can't change any = hardware configuration, i can just try to get plan9 running there with = the help of qemu. . .

I installed  a = fossil terminal, now i need to instruct 9load to read the kernel from = /dev/sdB0, and if the kernel loads, i need to instruct it to use = 9grid.es as the fs and auth.

I will post the = results of these tests if they are = possitive.

thanks!

Hi !

Use 9P instead of iSCSI. In My setup, I use = small IDE Flash drives (128Mb) They works just fine ! :)

Hola,

Has anyone done this?

I have access to a = cheap hardware which could be a nice plan9 cpu server, the only thing = does not work
is the iSCSI disk (or i think so, look at the lspci = below)

I suppose the bios of the machine supports booting from = iSCSI, so i think i could put a 9load or
9pxeload there,  but = 9load is not able to load a kernel from iSCSI and i suppose i can't = instruct 9pxeload
to boot from specific server without using = bootp/dhcp to boot, right?

any tips on how to make this little = thing work? (besides writing iSCSI support for 9load)

here is = he lspci output (it is a dualcore atom 1.6ghz intel board, 1gb of = ram):

PS: it = has an ide controller but with no disks attached
