Hi,
I installed plan9 a few days ago. I edited the /rc/bin/termrc
script to uncomment the part that was marked as what you
should use for dhcp. Now when I boot it, it just hangs
forever (I see the dhcp request and offer on the dhcp
server).
I'll have to figure out why dhcp doesn't work, but in the
meantime, how can I mount the harddisk after booting up the
installation floppy so I can back out my changes ?

in case there is no /dev/sdC0 directory after booting,
you'll need to
bind -a '#S' /dev
after that you can start kfs and mount what it serves with
disk/kfs -n blah -f /dev/sdC0/fs
mount -c /srv/kfs.blah /n/kfs

It you boot the install floppy you can draw
a new window and then run
mount /srv/kfs._dev_sdC0_fs /n/kfs
and do what you need to do. The DHCP should
time out after a couple minutes, though.
Perhaps you didn't wait long enough.
Once you get booting again, what is the
date on your kernel (ls -l /386/9pcdisk)?

That worked. Thanks. While I was waiting for an answer, I decided to
test the machine a bit more by booting from a floppy linux and a
cdrom-based linux, in order to see if my ethernet card was really
working; I ended up having weird kernel paging errors, and replaced
the ram, and then plan9 came up and found the network just fine.

I left it on waiting all night; however, like I said, it appears to
have been bad memory.

It seems to be working now, however.
