When he telnetted to 127.1, he was probably going to whatever machine his default route points to and connecting to its local interface. --upas-lgobestaysrqtnksfhixkmaqke Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Disposition: inline Received: from plan9.cs.bell-labs.com ([135.104.9.2]) by plan9; Thu Oct 9 22:36:44 EDT 2003 Received: from mail.cse.psu.edu ([130.203.4.6]) by plan9; Thu Oct 9 22:36:41 EDT 2003 Received: by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server, from userid 60001) id 390B819C9E; Thu, 9 Oct 2003 22:36:25 -0400 (EDT) Received: from psuvax1.cse.psu.edu (psuvax1.cse.psu.edu [130.203.18.6]) by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server) with ESMTP id 93BC019C94; Thu, 9 Oct 2003 22:36:11 -0400 (EDT) X-Original-To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu Delivered-To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu Received: by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server, from userid 60001) id AF93919C91; Thu, 9 Oct 2003 22:35:53 -0400 (EDT) Received: from t40.swtch.com (node-40245942.bos.onnet.us.uu.net [64.36.89.66]) by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server) with ESMTP id 1933919C87 for <9fans@cse.psu.edu>; Thu, 9 Oct 2003 22:35:42 -0400 (EDT) Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1] helo=t40.swtch.com) by t40.swtch.com with esmtp (Exim 4.22) id 1A7mYD-000PZq-8X for 9fans@cse.psu.edu; Thu, 09 Oct 2003 21:58:41 -0400 To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu Subject: Re: [9fans] bleeding edge cd install In-Reply-To: Your message of "Thu, 09 Oct 2003 20:22:53 MDT."

I just checked /sys/src/9/boot/local.c. You want: venti=#S/sdC0/venti-conf-disk where #S/sdC0/venti-conf-disk is the disk you branded with venti/conf -w. You can say venti=#S/sdC0/venti-conf-disk tcp!127.1!17034 tcp!127.1!8000 but the last two fields are the defaults. Still, the boot process shouldn't be page faulting, so this might not solve your problem. But /sys/src/9/boot/local.c is where you want to look (and look carefully at any messages before the page fault). Russ --upas-lgobestaysrqtnksfhixkmaqke--
