Subject: [9fans] 9load and plan9.ini - support for "Multiple Configurations"
Date: Fri, 2 Feb 2001 09:33:24 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7nrk7t0hldco828c44oa3a14luko5fj3g4@4ax.com> (raw)
In the description of plan9.ini:
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/magic/man2html/8/plan9.ini
there is a section labelled "Multiple Configurations"
I changed my /n/9fat/plan9.ini to include [menu]/[common] tags, but on
rebooting I do not get a menu.
A casual perusal of /sys/src/boot/pc/* and I cannot find any code
which processes the menu display or selection.
I have some questions:
Is there something wrong with my plan9.ini (reproduced below)?
Where is the code to interpret the tags?
Is there accepted practice for identifying and specifying the
version/build/release/revision of Plan 9?
As a general strategy if I receive answers to these questions should I
add them to the Plan 9 wiki?
/n/9fat/plan9.ini:
[menu]
menuitem=vgasmall, Plan 9 with 640x480 vga
menuitem=vgabig, Plan 9 with 1024x768 vga
menudefault=vgasmall
[vgabig]
vgasize=1024x768x8
[vgasmall]
vgasize=640x480x8
[common]
bootfile=sdC0!9fat!9pcdisk
bootdisk=local!#S/sdC0/fs
debug=1
*nomp=1
distname=plan9
partition=new
ether0=type=i82557 10BASE-T
monitor=multisync
mouseport=ps2
