Hi Russ:

I fetched 9pcdisk and tried it via B hd!0!9pcdisk, but here's what
happens:

root is from (local, 9600, 19200, il)[local!#H/hd0disk]:
user[none]:
fs...File system main inconsistent
Would you like to ream it (y/n)?     tag=Tnone; expected Tdir
kfs init 3: FID1 attach to root
boot:mount:: write to hungup stream
panic: boot process dies: unknown
(4 lines of hex dump, possible addresses, 80113f42 through 80100245)
exiting

I checked the books for potential interactive flags for the boot, no way
to respond to the y/n prompt as it dies immediately.

I considered that some changes to the filesystem may have taken place
between 9dos and 9pcdisk, and tried to do a full install with 9pcdisk in
place of 9dos or 9cpu, but (obviopusly) the setup code isn't in the
9pcdisk kernel.

Sorry to bug you, but any suggestions?

Kevin
