This is standard Plan 9 behaviour of disk/fdisp -p, on any cpu.
The convention is that dos is the name for a primary dos partition,
and 9fat is the name for a dos subpartition at the start of a
plan9 partition.

Perhaps you are thinking of one of the forks which does it
differently?

If you prefer different naming, you can change it yourself with
a 'part' command to /dev/sdM0/ctl - /cfg/$sysname/termrc would
be a sensible place to do this.

Oops, disk/fdisk is what I meant to type.

It's been fun playing around with Plan 9 on Raspberry Pi - thanks to
everyone who made it happen.

1. I'm trying to get a custom built kernel to boot but not having great
luck, unfortunately. I got as far as "mk 'CONF=pi'" in /sys/src/9/bcm
(those are the latest sources, correct?) which generated a 2M kernel named
's9pi'. I added that to the FAT partition on the standard 9pi SD card image
and edited config.txt to point to it. Now, when I boot I see a rainbow
pattern screen -- switching back to the 9pi kernel in config.txt makes it
boot again.

The kernel I built seems to be a bit different than the one included in the
SD card image, though they are roughly the same size:

$ file s9pi # built kernel
s9pi: Plan 9 executable, ARM 7-something
$ file 9pi # kernel includes in SD card image
9pi: data

What am I doing wrong?

2. A couple of my keyboards don't work with the standard kernel on the SD
card (the mouse works fine). Is /sys/src/omap/usbehciomap.c the right place
for me to start looking into adding support for them?

Thanks again!

-Anant
