Subject: [9fans] Plan9 on sparc?
Date: Sun, 3 Jan 1999 01:05:44 +0100 (CET)

Hi,

is there anybody out there who is running plan9 on a sparc ?
I tried to install it, but couldn't find out which file I have to link
on the bootp server as xxxxxxxx.SUN4C (where the x = hex IP address).
I wonder if that should be a special boot strap loader as with other 
OS'es (I'm also running NetBSD and OpenBSD on that machine, both booting
over the net) or if the bootstrap file has to be one of the 9ss* in /sparc .
I'm not running currently any other plan9 system so I installed a 9fs server
on a BSD box to have a fileserver on the net. But unfortunately I couldn't
make it at least access that fileserver. All the 9ss* kernels stop any
activities after loading them over the net.
Thanx for any hints.
