Nice work, Federico! This is very useful. Thank you.
Folks:
I've created a test page on the Plan 9 wiki and now want to get rid of
it so it doesn't add to the clutter on the site. I don't see an
explicit remove feature - does one exist?
Thanks,
Matt
To the Coraid team:
Congrats on your recent funding - your efforts to improve and enhance
Plan 9 are obvious throughout the community.
Cheers,

I've got a computer that I've added a better video card to in an
attempt to replace the wimpy onboard card.
I first tried adding an NVidia MX440se 64MB PCI card but got the
following error when I tired to start rio:

Hi folks:
I've installed Plan 9 on another of my systems and so far so good.
This configuration is an all-in-one fossil+venti system. Nothing has
been extended beyond the default ISO.
After I installed and rebooted I noticed that the hard drive light
came on and stayed on. It's been on for

I am using a Logitech Wireless Optical Trackman. When using Linux I
need to remap a couple of the buttons using the line
pointer = 1 2 9 4 5 6 7 8 3
in my .Xmodmap file.
Button 1 works as expected and in the shell I can only get access to
the cut, paste, snarf... menu with buttons 8
It will take a very long time, espicially if your IDE controller is not
known or it is and DMA is known to be problematic.
Thanks, Steve. The disks finally quieted down early this afternoon.
I just didn't expect it to take that long.

Any suggestions or solutions would be greatly appreciated. I'd love
to get Plan 9 installed on my computer. Indicentally the same Plan 9
ISO installs just fine on another computer that I have: that computer
only has one hard drive.
remove one hard drive. add hard drive back
As soon as I put a wildcard into the test string, e.g.,
Yes,
test -f /dev/sdC0/plan9 /dev/sdC1/plan9
is an invalid command. Only one argument is expected.
You're going to have to pick one of the two arguments.
I guess the crux of the matter is that I cannot install
% test -f /dev/sdC1/plan9 # works, I think
% test -f /dev/sd*/plan9*
test: unexpected operator/operand: /dev/sdC1/plan9
interesting. i tested that here and got no errors.
and what is the output of
test -f /dev/sd*/plan9*
on my machine, i cannot get test
% test -f /dev/sdC1/plan9 # works, I think
% test -f /dev/sd*/plan9*
test: unexpected operator/operand: /dev/sdC1/plan9
interesting. i tested that here and got no errors.
and what is the output of
test -f /dev/sd*/plan9*
test: unexpected operator/operand:
i don't think so. i tested that before
i asked the original question. what does this
x=/dev/sd*/plan9*
whatis x
x=(/dev/sdC0/plan9 /dev/sdC1/plan9)
ls -q /dev/sd*/plan9*

Folks:
Using the Plan 9 ISO provided by Erik Quanstrom I was able to get Plan
9 to boot and detect my hard drives. So far so good.
Once in the installer I selected fossil+venti and proceeded to run
fdisk on sdC0 to create one large Plan 9 partition. No problems.
After running fdisk on sdC1 I
would you be willing to try
ftp://ftp.quanstro.net/other/9atom.iso.bz2
Okay, that works. 9atom.iso found both of my hard drives.
I now see the following drives detected when I get to the partdisk
step of the install process:
sdC0 - ST3160821A
p1 0 8 (8 cylinders, 62.75MB)
if you can't get back on track by forcing the step
by just typing it at the prompt
I can't seem to do that; the installer doesn't give me a prompt after
the configfs step.
the easiest trick might be something like this at the installer
prompt:
!rc
# cp /bin/test
Hi folks:
I have an older Dell OptiPlex GX1 (600MHz PIII) that I am having
trouble installing Plan 9 onto. I am using a bootable CD ISO of Plan
9 that I downloaded last night so things should be current.
The system has two 130GB hard drives installed. Everything works
under Debian Linux.

thing.

Oddly enough the keyboard seems to work after the switch (most of the
time) but the mouse never does. Use of usb/kb -k and usb/usbmouse
(and successive restarts of usb/usbmouse) seems to do

Sorry about the terseness. I meant to also say that
you'll have to add the kbin device to your kernel
configuration and recompile. I don't think it's in
the default.
Makes sense.
