[9fans] another try at booting

[9fans] another try at booting

[Mathieu L.]

Hi all,

I've decided to give another try at plan9 so I reinstalled it. It went
further than last time (this time 9load sees my hd) but I still didn't
manage to boot it. I got

using sdD1!9fat!plan9.ini
.found 9pcf
a number, some dots, another number, some more dots and finally a
"premature EOF"

Can anyone help with that?

Cheers,
Mathieu

are you sure this disk is healthy?

try booting from the live cd and
	dd -if /dev/sdC0/9fat -of /dev/null
does that give errors. if not
	mount /dos/srv /n/9fat /dev/sdC0/9fat
	cmp /386/9pcf /n/9fat/9pcf

Thanks.

dd went fine so I guess my hdd is more or less fine.
however the cmp reported:
"EOF on /n/9fat/9pcf after 1720320 bytes" so I suppose something went
wrong during install when this file was copied over, right?
I tried then to cp the file from the cd to the hdd but I got a
permission denied. How do I mount the 9fat partition so that it's
writable?

Cheers,
Mathieu.

try:
	cat /386/9pcf>/n/9fat/9pcf

i don't understand why dossrv will not allow creation.
any ideas?
