Subject: [9fans] Strange Plan9 Reinstallation Phenomonon
Date: Sun, 30 May 2004 11:05:40 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <f85a90156edaadcf2e1a8fe30770179d@comcast.net> (raw)
I had Plan 9 on an IDE hard drive. I decided to go back to FreeBSD, so I
installed FreeBSD 4.9 on the same drive as a replacement, making no
effort to dual boot, I told BSD to use the whole disk. Then I got a
second computer and figured that I can now use either Plan9 or FreeBSD
as the spirit moves me. I reinstalled Plan9 on the IDE drive I
started with. I deleted the FreeBSD partition in fdisk and let Plan9
use the whole disk. The `copy distribution' part went like lightning
and when I rebooted, not only did I have Plan9, but I had the same
setup I had a couple days before just before the BSD installation.
I've been using the Plan 9 for a little while now, and it seems to be
working. My question is do you think I can expect this to work, or is
this a real fluke? I had actually done quite a bit with the FreeBSD:
building from sources and installing quite a few ports.
Thanks
Greg
