Hello gang,
It's time to update our cpu/fs here to 4e and while reading over
Forsyth's wiki "upgrade roadmap" if you will, I realize I need
a kfs system running 4e.
I've had a 4e install on my disk for some time, but it wouldn't
boot and I haven't had time to poke at it. Now is the time. Here's
the problem:
The system is a IBM TP 600E, with a 10GB disk. It currently
boots windoze (for dvds) & linux. The partitions are laid out as follows:
[root@9top sah]# /sbin/fdisk -l /dev/hda
Disk /dev/hda: 240 heads, 63 sectors, 1299 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 15120 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 272 2056288+ 6 FAT16
/dev/hda2 273 681 3092040 83 Linux
/dev/hda3 682 752 536760 5 Extended
/dev/hda4 753 1299 4135320 39 Plan 9
/dev/hda5 682 752 536728+ 82 Linux swap
... so my question is, when I boot plan9 from lilo using the
line:
other=/dev/hda4
label=plan9
table=/dev/hda
as has been suggested in the archives, why do I get this on boot
(roughly):
Loading Plan9
PBS ... Bad format or I/O error
Press a key to reboot
and if common, how do I make it stop doing this?
Cheers,
Sam

Moreover, it looks like everyone who encountered this problem
just gave up. There's a handful of unanswered posts
about this problem in the archives. My guess is the
unwillingness to open the 9load box?
<picks up tool box and heads down the road to /sys/src>

pbslba did the trick. I updated the wiki - my very first experience - to
reflect the quick solution. May I give a giant *huzzah* for the wiki?
Very cool.
