Hi,

I installed a new machine (HP Brio + tekram scsi).

The install from floppy was faultless, I built a venti
as per the wiki.

I saved my venti config using venti/conf -w /dev/sd06/arenas.

The one piece of the jigsaw that appears to be missing
from the wiki, how do I make the venti come up at boot time?

If I set
   venti=#S/sd06/arenas 
in plan9.ini, I get a kernel panic on boot
	boot 7 suicide 0xef1000be
	in syscall pc=0xbd33

I wonder if its because I am uing SCSI and have 4 disks, 4G for
fossil, a pair of fast 2Gs for indexes, and a 38G for venti;
I am not using fs to mirror or anything clever (yet).

The partitions don't appear on reboot, (disk/prep -p
/dev/sd0?/data > /dev/sd0?/ctl needed).

is it that the default kernel assumes I am using /dev/sdC0
and only write the partition info to the kernel for that one device?
(I cannot see where this is done in the source).

So near and yet...
