Re: [9front] Need help with configuring the Internet

[염준혁 <skhds1@gmail.com>]

I actually wasn't expecting help at this moment. I still do need some,
but by now
since I was suspecting that I did something wrong from the beginning
of the installation,
I needed some time to trace back what I did and what I've done wrong.

But at the same time, I didn't want to reply too late, so it was
rather just to inform you quickly
of my current situation. I felt like I was going to ask too much basic
questions that are
already in the FQA, so I wanted to take some time before posting more
questions..

Anyways, here are the steps I did. I took these steps based on
http://fqa.9front.org/fqa5.html#5.2.2.1
and also your input.

1.
acme /sys/src/9/pc/ether82563.c, then add line
case 0x15bc:            /* i219-v */

2.
cd /
. /sys/lib/rootstub
cd /sys/src
mk clean
objtype=amd64 mk install

3. This is according to http://fqa.9front.org/fqa7.html#7.2. I
overlooked these steps since I was only looking at section 5.

bind -b '#S' /dev # bind the local hard drive kernel device over /dev
9fs 9fat /dev/sdE0/9fat # specify the full path to the corresponding 9fat

These steps I did rather because I wasn't sure that what I was typing
in was on console.
Is an rc shell considered console or is there a separate terminal for consoles?
This was one of the questions that I thought you guys might find too basic....

4. (I'm not sure if i did 9fs 9fat again..)

rm /n/9fat/9bootfat
cp /386/9bootfat /n/9fat/
chmod +al /n/9fat/9bootfat # defrag magic
cp /amd64/9pc64 /n/9fat/

acme plan9.ini, then change bootfile=9pc to bootfile=9pc64

5. ctrl + alt + delete, then select plan9 partition on booting (press
F12, then select UEFI OS)

One thing I didn't do, was mk install one more time on
/sys/src/9/pc64. I assumed mk install on
/sys/src will create every necessary binaries, including the ones for
/sys/src/9/pc64. So is that
a necessary step?

Thanks,
