Subject: [9fans] I did bad things and 9front won't boot
Date: Wed, 20 Dec 2023 20:52:23 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <C8EAAA67-95BE-4B81-8CE8-4F45989BCEA4@o5r.ca> (raw)
Hello,
I seem to have done incredibly stupid things to my 9front instance and now on boot I get "panic: unknown keyword in config block: <some character>", followed by a "mount: sys: write on closed pipe pc=0x2008c6" and "mount /srv/boot /root: mount 185: sys: write on closed pipe pc=0x2008c6”.
At this point I did try to drop into a shell, but I can’t figure out from there how I can mount my filesystem (that I can see in the list of things under /dev/sdE0/fsmain).
By now I’ve also figured out that the panic is happening “here”, in the mergeconf function:
http://git.9front.org/plan9front/plan9front/858893ff8ff8d3abd06742276bcb794f3422bab8/sys/src/cmd/cwfs/config.c/f.html
Is there a way for me to rewrite the config block to sensible defaults by dropping into a shell and/or using a usb drive w/ 9front on it (as if doing an install) to just backstep whatever terrible thing I performed accidentally?
Thanks,
Olivier
