[9fans] How serious is incomatible type signatures?
I am seeing incompatible type signature errors when compiling f2c. Removing -T from the compiler option seems to allow me to compile with no problems. The resulting compiled code seems to run just fine. sig_die: incompatible type signatures 951b2e20(unix.8) and bde91c57(../libf2c/libf2c.a8(sig_die)) for exit fernan
Re: [9fans] usb/disk nvram and pxeload
That was the approach i was taking when ... ( i only need 512 bytes after MBR, what could possibly go wrong?!) I destroyed some memorabilia on that flash. Oh well; no big loss. for some reason setting nvram='#u/usb/ep6.0/data" nvroff=513 (is it 0 or 1 origin?) nvrlen=512 didn't work. i guessed it might have been the fact that usbd started usb/disk; i was getting device busy.

That lets me run a full up script. I have even adapted pcfs for arm so I can have usb disk root. I can find that script but maybe this is enough to get you going. ron

There are two alternatives.
Be wary, I am writing this by looking at the manual and from
what I remember from the code, but they should be *almost* right.
One is run
usb/usbd
mount /srv/usb /n/usb
#now you have /n/usb/sdU0.0 for example there
#here there are two alternatives, you can use partfs or fs, depending
#on your needs.
#with partfs *simpler but slower*
disk/partfs /n/usb/sdU0.0
cd /dev/sdXX
disk/fdisk -p data > ctl
disk/prep -p plan9 > ctl
#alternatively to partfs
#with fs
{
echo disk sdXX 512 /n/usb/sdU0.0/data
disk/fdisk -p /n/usb/sdU0.0/data
disk/prep -p /n/sdXX/plan9
} > /dev/fs/ctl

I only realize spice2 would be a good candidate after you posted that you got it working. I have copied spice2g6 in my contrib http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sources/contrib/fernan/spice2.tgz spice2 is in fortran, I included the f2c translation incase you dont want to bother with f2c. You will still need the libf2c to compile though.
[9fans] usb/disk nvram and pxeload
if i pxeload a cpu and want to be able to use an nvram partition on a usb disk (i.e. nvram=/dev/sdXX/nvram - once it is partitioned & formated). it seems i also must change boot/boot.c to add the 'partfs && fdisk -p && prep -p' after usbd has started. is this correct?

Re: [9fans] changing font size acme 9term plan 9 from user space
Set $font to the font you want. I use $PLAN9/fonts/fixed/unicode.6x12.font, there's plenty of other sizes, though.

Re: [9fans] changing font size acme 9term plan 9 from user space
Hi, I'm using Plan 9 from user space on Debian Squeeze. I'd like to change the font size in both acme and 9term, but don't know how to do that. I'd appreciate a hint there please. Thanks. Alexander Kapshuk.
