Subject: [9fans] Installing plan9
Date: Wed, 06 May 1998 09:36:41 -0300

We have successfully retrieved, unpacked and compiled the file
9/pc/824494421.rc ( 16-Feb-96 update) which has the devata.c driver. We
copied the files to the proper source directory (/sys/src/9/pc)  and typed
mk installall generating the 9dos, 9pc, 9pcdisk kernels. Then we copied
9pcdisk to DOS (c:/plan9/) and fetched 9pcdisk and tried it via Plan9.ini
(bootfile=hd!0!/plan9/9pcdisk), but here's what happens:

CPU is a 200MHz Pentium735 (cpuid: ax52cdx1bf)
scsibuf: 0x2bbb84
scsibuf: 0x2dbb94
scsibuf: 0x2fbba4
scsibuf: 0x31bbb4

root is from (local, 9660, 19200, il)[local!#H/hd0disk]: local!#H/hd0fs

boot: can't connect to file server: file does not exist
panic: boot process died: unknown

What did we miss? Any suggestions?

Franklin.
