I'm stuck at the 'Distribution disk [no default]' prompt during the mountdist step. The following storage media were detected: /dev/sdC0/9fat /dev/sdC0/data /dev/sdC0/fossil /dev/sdC0/nvram /dev/sdC0/swap /dev/sdD0/cdboot /dev/sdD0/data Entering any of these at the prompt results in the message 'Unknown disk type (cannot happen)'. This message originates from the mountdist script but does not make sense to me. At this point the installer sometimes lets me have another go at the prompt but often just hangs. I first tried /dev/sdD0/data as it seems appropriate but none of the above storage media work. I can run successfully run Plan 9 off the CD. Any ideas? eli From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Message-ID: <2e7cc85343187d7d28a4a1f74dce408d@snellwilcox.com> From: "Steve Simon" Date: Wed, 23 Jun 2004 09:44:48 +0100 To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu Subject: Re: [9fans] CD install help In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Topicbox-Message-UUID: aa7ae114-eacd-11e9-9e20-41e7f4b1d025 Given these choices I would expect you to pick /dev/sdD0/data Did you enter the path to the disk exactly '/dev/sdD0/data' ? >>From my reading of the code I think you will get this cannot happen error message if you enter a device which is not one of those listed. the devices: /dev/sdC0/9fat /dev/sdC0/data /dev/sdC0/fossil /dev/sdC0/nvram /dev/sdC0/swap are those you just created on your disk. /dev/sdD0/cdboot is the bootstrap psudo-floppy on the CDROM that allows it to be a boot device. /dev/sdD0/data is the filesystem that conatins the plan9 filesystem image (assuming you are booting from the bootable iso distribution). Perhaps you have an old distribution image? I did exactly this yesterday and it all went faultlessly. -Steve From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Date: Wed, 23 Jun 2004 12:08:22 -0500 From: Eli Collins To: Fans of the OS Plan 9 from Bell Labs <9fans@cse.psu.edu> Subject: Re: [9fans] CD install help In-Reply-To: <2e7cc85343187d7d28a4a1f74dce408d@snellwilcox.com> Message-ID: References: <2e7cc85343187d7d28a4a1f74dce408d@snellwilcox.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Topicbox-Message-UUID: aab4539a-eacd-11e9-9e20-41e7f4b1d025 thank you for the reply. > Did you enter the path to the disk exactly '/dev/sdD0/data' ? yes, several times. careful to use sdD0 and not sdDO. > Perhaps you have an old distribution image? I did exactly this i got the latest iso this morning, same results. some extra info... modified mountdist to echo Unknown disk type "$disk" and the message becomes Unknown disk type "/dev/sdD0/data" eli From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Date: Wed, 23 Jun 2004 11:34:22 -0600 From: andrey mirtchovski To: Fans of the OS Plan 9 from Bell Labs <9fans@cse.psu.edu> Subject: Re: [9fans] CD install help In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Topicbox-Message-UUID: aab87920-eacd-11e9-9e20-41e7f4b1d025 On Wed, 23 Jun 2004, Eli Collins wrote: > Unknown disk type "/dev/sdD0/data" > did you try '/dev/sdC1/data'?
