Subject: Re: difference cdrom boot and 9fat boot?

this is really wired... the iso and fat bootloaders (we
dont use 9load) share most of the code except filesystem
specific stuff.

maybe someone forgot to rebuild these? what iso did you
download?

what exactly did you put in your plan9.ini? our bootloader
does e820 scan for the kernel as the first thing.

you should see something like:

e820="list of big hex numbers here" as the first line printed
by both bootloaders. is that the case?

the bootloader allows you to break into a interactive prompt.

try hitting enter or space just after bios until you see the
">" prompt so you can read the parameters.

the 9pcf kernel on the cdrom and the kernel installed are exactly
the same. you can use the booted kernel from the cdrom to
mount and boot into your installed system by specifying
your install partition on the bootargs prompt.
