Hi,

I have an = early version of the Plan 9 demo (serial number 0561). I'm using 86Box (Soc= ket 7 VX Shuttle HOT-557 Pentium 100) to boot it. It boots, but then presen= ts:

root is from (local, il, tcp)[local!#f/fd0= disk]:

I press enter

<= div>user[none]:
fs...fs...time...
init: startin= g /bin/rc
/fs 14: serving #s/dos
Mouse port is = (ps2, 0 (called COM1 in DOS), or 1 (called COM2 in DOS)):
I type ps20 (cuz my ps2 mouse is emulated on COM1?)
bunch of stuff scrolls by and ends with:

in= it: rc exit status: rc 9:false

init: starting = /bin/rc
term%

Did I provide reas= onable responses and how do I start the windows system (whoever thought of = naming it 8 1/2, by the way?). I can't even type it in the console whatever= 1/2 character was used :).

These will probably work, except acme hadn't been invented yet and sam m= ay or may not give an error the first time. (Checked with another demo d= isk.) You probably do want to start the window system, there is no way t= o kill the foreground process without it. I could email a slightly newer demo disk which prompts, "Start the windo= w system? (y/n)". Note that it has more annoyances than 4th edition. For= instance, while the down arrow key behaves appropriately, the up arrow = key inserts =C3=8E. Home inserts =C3=8D, End inserts CR. Double-click do= esn't select anything in 8=C2=BD, which is a nuisance when you habituall= y use send. The grep command does not exist! It does, however, have ftpf= s. Useful demo, not useful tool. I could email a 2nd edition CD-ROM too. It has grep and the source to ev= erything, but it's not a bootable disk. I don't think the demo floppy's = kernel has appropriate drivers. (It certainly lacks 9660srv.) The conten= ts of #S are unfamiliar too. The demo floppy lacks a lot of things, such= as /dev/drivers and even ns, which hinders exploration. I extracted a b= unch of kernels from the CD-ROM in the past, but I couldn't be bothered = to figure out how to boot them, much less find which one(s) will mount r= oot from a CD-ROM. I wonder if they'll boot if I tell qemu they're flopp= y disk images...

Looking at the screenshot that Will sent me directly, the dates on the binaries match up to 2ed release. I'm pretty sure the four-floppy set that came with the CDROM has the acme binary.

It looks like they are Nov 1995 (I apparently winimaged them from floppies back then). When I boot disk 1, it complains about not having an mbr partition and bails.

These will probably work, except acme hadn't been invented yet and sam may or may not give an error the first time. (Checked with another demo disk.) You probably do want to start the window system, there is no way to kill the foreground process without it.

Acme (Alef version) is in 2ed; the single-floppy version doesn't seem to have the binary. Looking at the screenshot that Will sent me directly, the dates on the binaries match up to 2ed release.

I'm pretty sure the four-floppy set that came with the CDROM has the acme binary. I don't have any floppy drives that I trust to look at my copy.
Interestingly enough, I found an old 4 floppy set of vd's in the same folder with the demo image. It looks like they are Nov 1995 (I apparently winimaged them from floppies back then). When I boot disk 1, it complains about not having an mbr partition and bails. I'm guessing it's expecting some OS and hard disk to be present to install to.

It looks like they are Nov 1995 (I apparently winimaged them from floppies back then). When I boot disk 1, it complains about not having an mbr partition and bails. I'm guessing it's expecting some OS and hard disk to be present to install to. Huh! You noticed them just a little sooner than I did. Reading betweent he lines of the README, it looks like they were being very careful about MBR matters. I think a hard disk image with an empty MBR should be enough.
