[9front] qemu install

[9front] qemu install

[william]

I have done this a few times in the past but now the latest install doesn't seem to work.

9front-10522.386.iso
9front-10522.amd64.iso
qemu-system-x86_64 -hda 9front2.img -boot d -cdrom 9front-10554.amd64.iso -m 1024

This will book every time and allow me to install to 9front2.img which is just really a
qcow2 that I renamed to 9front2.img

Post install I run

qemu-system-x86_64 -nographic -hda 9front2.img -m 1024 -netdev user,id=mynet0

continuous loop

I can still do a manual mount if I run the first qemu script and edit the file

I can still mount it with pre install and change plan9.ini
bootfile=9pc64
bootargs=local!/dev/sdC0/fs -m 147
service=cpu
console=0

But none of this seems to matter. It will be a continuous loop. 

Any ideas?

This is mount(1) telling you it encountered a problem while
trying to mount onto /root. The server on the other end of
the 9p connection returned an Rerror: "no such user".

> mount /srv/boot /root: mount 220: mount

This is bootrc(8) telling you that when it tried to mount
/srv/boot onto /root the process running mount as pid 220
failed with an exit status of "mount".

See the last sentence of the second paragraph of exits(2).
I'm surprised you've never seen a bad exit status before.
