Subject: [9fans] Booting 9front using 9vx
Date: Wed,  2 Mar 2016 20:25:52 +0530	[thread overview]

Hi,

I was reading the Arch wiki on 9vx ¹ which said 9vx should/might boot 9atom
and 9front ISO also. So I thought of trying this out and executed the
following command.

 9vx -r ../images/9front-4796.018cb441d1b5.iso -u glenda "CWD=#Z`pwd`" "nvram=#Z`pwd`/9front.nvr"

But I got the following error and 9vx is exited.

> 9vx panic: boot process died: boot: mount /: file does not exist

> aborting, to dump core.
> We're done talking

So I'm just wondering if its possible to boot 9front ISO from 9vx or is
it just Labs ISO.

Cheers,
