Hi,
I have a brand new motherboard on my server with the Intel 945P
Northbridge and ICH7 Southbridge. I get the following message when
Plan 9 boots up:
pcirouting: South bridge 8086, 27B8 not found
So the SATA controller is not recognized. If I read the sources
correctly I believe the solution is to add those two hex numbers into
the southbridges[] struct in /sys/src/9/pc/pci.c.
I have a working Plan 9 installation on my laptop, so I can compile
the new kernel with this patch, but how do I create an installation CD
image to try it on my server?

why not just bootp the kernel from the laptop?

You're better off netbooting, as Andrey pointed out. If you still
want to try to make a CD, you should take a look in /sys/lib/dist
and /sys/lib/dist/pc. It's been months since I went through the
process but I believe I had to make some tools under /sys/lib/dist/cmd
first, then build under /sys/lib/pc. I believe I had to take a
few items from a previous cd as well. Its a little convoluted
because the normal build process described by the mkfile uses some
files that aren't part of the public distribution.
I know its a little vague, but hopefully it helps you get started.
