I'm sure I'm making it more difficult I tried following 4.2.2.1 It seems like things should be easier. 9bootfat, 9pc, ini and 9front.iso. I think the frustrating part was being stuck dealing with a usb device. I don't care about thumb drives. All of this should be accomplished with an iso or 9front.bin or something similar. I ended up doing a dd from /dev/SDUxxx -of cd.iso But it was exactly 32G image. I have a limitation because its on AWS with an EBS of 32G maximum. In theory I should have been mount the ISO and dump the data, then modify ini. But how in the world do you write the mbr you can't do that to a directory disk/mbr -r mbr /dev/sdUxxx So really I'm not sure how iso's are created in 9front. I suspect some sort of rockridge format and a generic bootloader. Here is what I ended up doing. I fired up qemu locally and performed the install. Then I logged in and changed the ini file and added console=0. Then I copied the 9front.img to the AWS ec2 instance. Everything came up fine text mode. Nice! and thak you for the help. Honestly I would like to use the ec2 bare metal. Its already a hypervisor. I just don't know what to do to make that happen. I suspect I would need to dump the data into another EBS then force the EC2 to load it. But i'm also not sure of the files required beyond digging into inst/start and looking at the rc scripts. Or a docker would be nice. I saw a docker out there but it was two years old. It also ran on alpine linux, so someone manged to copy some files over. Maybe I don't want docker. Bare metal is better any thoughts would be much appreciated. --upas-fukxxidapfshicntilzeenvjkh Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Disposition: inline Delivered-To: thinktankworkspaces@gmail.com Received: by 2002:a05:7010:30c7:b0:1f6:d3b9:3c1d with SMTP id q7csp138153mdb; Mon, 10 Jan 2022 15:46:40 -0800 (PST) X-Google-Smtp-Source: ABdhPJzDEamaaL+lZRcE4GdgAMeWxAbhlTkHIPIsIc5p6BwmR1UqScakDMPeU1kdL5RsQnA4ACM6 X-Received: by 2002:a05:6000:1ca:: with SMTP id t10mr1519816wrx.161.1641858400346; Mon, 10 Jan 2022 15:46:40 -0800 (PST) ARC-Seal: i=1; a=rsa-sha256; t=1641858400; cv=none; d=google.com; s=arc-20160816; b=bLWxlajjSiJqprSWm4b6s7CZapV1u+bHMQ4jCgOcYXemtZ4VAykHKRKoFpkBEaF/pj hfA2LdxkNFZ0pF4Dbxht75BLI9Y7RVKGoJhwz1uvERRrYbpwAdPkefX9c7ImG3s2P+JN ZumIA0Bdw2vU64NMggLdtut93QSTZN9XrJ7BZKDRcgxq4Qj801HFLK+ZUsrRFVu35s4A 02sFygKWnWDMQGuLt99rJJuLrf+HzNRGQuXVQUAh+8eilpwMPo01MybUcXkchcvdwvFD xtB6nqBj3UGWR+6kK4gCpaxjQ1o/oorEtifSmUQPwu2jZpNrg7rdWiWxmDWzIjJEzZxv 1xEg== ARC-Message-Signature: i=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=google.com; s=arc-20160816; h=precedence:reply-to:subject:list-help:list-id :content-transfer-encoding:mime-version:references:in-reply-to :message-id:to:from:date; bh=87YxTcR7+Uxa7gJBRQ2pPClJtas7Kydaj/oxQ1fPE7g=; b=CiMhwjGWa+MJo2xJ/lQt3sLYnQXdCeOjuoOd+gy9ANGC5KBcz2xbW7j3PxUfVfVfep tRBOO4wiOXP8zlXpaB7V1uClWGFzNqP9lwHXvE1DyOVQUPLrTElPv9esU05fA+j5mfgl kVdDZZNjqz1/UDEwJGigBFSVMee2E8FGKmZqdJVlYz/2FmAqoxQxmVqNRvmSqJZE5EdH EiqBymlaaQk8fTSUs6Lf67aCCiOw0lMzymb8AezYHruXVNKqy1TIEimUjGrcR7afV/to DuJcU3T9xsmtKIjP6VfJtCrv13uQzasfPSWIqGSMnNFjRKwDQGQyWRew4zquykgQDUY1 FCYA== ARC-Authentication-Results: i=1; mx.google.com; spf=pass (google.com: domain of 9front-bounces@4ess.inri.net designates 216.126.196.42 as permitted sender) smtp.mailfrom=9front-bounces@4ess.inri.net; dmarc=fail (p=NONE sp=NONE dis=NONE) header.from=sirjofri.de Return-Path: <9front-bounces@4ess.inri.net> Received: from 4ess.inri.net (4ess.inri.net.

It's not so easy when having to deal with CDs for obvious reasons. However, you should have luck with mounting a copy of the iso, changing the file (and saving the iso), then overwriting the first sector(s) with the contents of the original iso. Make soure you don't overwrite the FAT and contents, the partition tables should be the same anyways. It's also possible to generate a fresh iso with your settings if you have an installed 9front system. You wouldn't need to run sysupdates after installation, but this is definitely more work. Disclaimer: I never did any of these things with 9front. Good luck sirjofri --upas-fukxxidapfshicntilzeenvjkh--
