Subject: [9fans] install onto P5Q-Pro SATA drives
Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2010 22:18:56 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <dcecc80b195ac8d80ebe231d2a46f674@hera.eonet.ne.jp> (raw)

It`s possible to install the Plan 9 distribution onto Asus P5Q-Pro
motherboard with two SATA HDD drive and a SATA DVD-RAM/±R/±RWdrive with
4 GB memory.

The Plan 9 distribution CDROM assumes the CDROM is connected to D:
drive, which is the problem here.  Then, connect the drives as
SATA1=SATA HDD in my case 500GB Hitachi SATA drive)
SATA2= SATA DVD-RAM/±R/±RW Sdrive
SATA3= SATA HDD in my case the same as SATA1.

First, install the Plan 9 system from the distribution CDROM using
IDE Compatible mode.   You may see some proble, such as some of the venti 
parameters are not properly set (mem, bcmem, icmem), so I recommend
you to install fossil only first, and then setup venti later.

In my case fossil.conf includes a line of
fsys main config /dev/sdC0/fossil
and venti.conf does two lines of
isect /dev/sdC0/isect
arenas /dev/sdD1/arenas0.

Next, you should change the above lines as
fsys main config /dev/sdE0/fossil
and
isect /dev/sdE0/isect
arenas /dev/sdE2/arenas0.

of couse you should change the relevant lines in you plan9.ini file.

Then, exit the Plan 9 system, and return to the BIOS setting mode.
Here, you should change disk configurations to use AHCI mode.
this will lead you to SATA mode setupped Plan 9 system.

Lastly, I'm not using bloom because it's not fit my system.
