Hello all,

I have a raspberry pi 400, and have some issues with 9front working
correctly. The issue I have is that at boot is seems to complain about the
SD card (in the 9front bootloader). It asks me what to boot from, but then
spits out the same error after selecting (local) and goes back to asking
how to boot. Am i doing something wrong?

Regards,

Joseph Turco

there is no bootloader. what you'r looking at is the booted kernel
and a rc script asking you for the root filesystem. you can enter
a shell by typing !rc.

theres some mmc controller issues on the pi400. i do not have a pi400 myself,
but someone had on the mailinglist and we managed to get at least the xhci
working with some remote troubleshooting. but then he vanished, so this is
still a open issue.

you can try using usb or network boot for now. the pi400 and pi4 should
be quite similar... tho they shuffled the physical memory map around a bit.
but i have no theory at this point. it is too long ago.

Thanks for the response cinap, maybe if I become experienced with 9front I
could attempt to fix it someday, for now, could you point me to the USB
image I should use? Am i just flashing the rpi image on a usb drive or is
there another iso i need to use?

regards,

Joseph Turco

Have not tested, but in theory writing the raspberry pi image to a usb drive
and using the filesystem there should work.
You just have to make sure to select the right partition at bootargs:

There should be a new device /dev/sdXX with its partition listed
and you should select the hjfs partition /dev/sdXX/fs like:

local!/dev/sdXX/fs -m N

with N being default that was suggested at prompt.
See hjfs(4) and boot(8) for details.

Cheers,
Tobias Heinicke

theres nothing sdcard specific to the image. so just
writing it to a usb drive should work fine.

i'm just not sure if the raspberry pi firmware can
load the kernel from usb. but if it isnt, you can still
have it load the kernel from sdcard and then once the
kernel is up, select the usb drive for your fileserver.

(note, on the raspberry pi, the firmware is responsible
for loading the kernel).
