I'm pretty sure I haven't mentioned this yet, so... people interested in
playing with Plan B, I have put together a short text document describing
how I got to a reasonably-working state under qemu. It was of course
written *after* I finished setting everything up, so it could have some
errors. Anyway, the file can be fetched from:
http://csplan9.rit.edu/users/john/planb.txt
Your mileage may vary... please don't come to me because you screwed
up your fancy cpu/auth/file server setup trying to install Plan B!
Good luck!
John

Sure, sounds like a good idea. Where should it go? I was thinking
either under "Related Projects" on the front page or on the Documentation
page.

Thanks a lot.
I apologize for the inconveniences. We'll try to make it convenient to use
the octopus.

Where can I keep up to date on the progress of the octopus?
Is there some sort of public mailing list?

/n/sources/contrib/nemo/octopus.tgz
is a tar ball updated manually whenever we make some progress. It includes
man pages. There are some early papers in the url you mention, and in
the lsub papers
page.
Also, we'll sending mails here (and to the inferno list) as soon as we
have something
to announce.
Right now I have a working omero but it is not stable enough for others to use.
Besides, it does not have Edit (yet).

I have put the info on the wiki, but neglected to mention it here.
It's under "Using the System" in the Documentation section, address
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/Installing_Plan_B_on_Qemu/
Glad to hear you got Plan B working!

I can vouch for the instructions :) I now have a fairly usable planb
setup running. There are still some issues regarding the default fonts
in Omero (nothing that can't be fixed with a bit of googling and help
from Fransisco or John :) I got mine running by creating the Plan 9
Vera fonts from the bitstream Vera set installed on my linux box. It's
a fairly straightforward process. Omero does look a lot better with
the vera fonts :)
I second the idea of a Wilki for this. Atleast it'll allow people to
fix any deficiencies in the instructions and help pool the info on how
to get started with Plan B.

OK, that was easy, here is the process:
google plan 9 vera
find this: http://mirtchovski.com/p9/vera/
Thank Andrey once again.

I've been trying to install Plan B following those instructions, but
I've installed it on a standalone Plan 9 system, so not on Qemu.
Everything seems to go well until I launch "omero", when I get these warnings:
vname /devs/ui sname nautilus mnt /devs addr tcp!nautilus!11007
omero: mount /devs: '/devs' file does not exist
What should I do?
Thanks in advance for any help you would wish to provide.
Fabrizio

i don't run plan b, but this error looks familiar. you are
missing the file /devs. plan 9 typically won't allow one to
create stuff in the root of a mountpoint, so you'll need
to do this from the fossil console. see fossilcons(8).

just create /devs
Also, you may want to change the system name in /lib/ndb/vol/volumes
