I wouldn't expect there will be a fifth edition as most of the plan9 team from bell labs now work at google. Having said this it might happen, it depends on the priorities inside lucent-alcatel. you call update from a mounted iso image if you have no network but i cannot remember the exact runes, maybe the 9fans archives will help? the third edition is not very interesting, it is very similar to the fourth but has a different 9p protocol (and a few other things). the seccond was purchased like a book for $270 (from memory), the cdroms do appear (with license card one hopes) on ebay from time to time. I archived the four distribution floppies of the binary only demo release for posterity. the first edition was given to universities who expressed an interest, like Unix was in its early days. the license for ed1 was restrictive so these cdroms don't appear - some people might still have the single demo floppy that Rob gave out in london but thats your only hope. I put some historic papers and distribution images (copyright permitting) onhttp://plan9.bell-labs.com/sources/contrib/steve/historic, and I believe uriel has more onhttp://www.cat-v.org -Steve Steve, would you be willing to share copies of the demo discs? Which architecture do they use? I just want to play with something ancient as well as modern, then I'll feel like I have a better feel for the system. Thanks.

Re: [9fans] Fifth Edition
/n/sources/contrib/steve/historic/2nd-edition/pcdist/* there is some other stuff on there about the early releases which might be of interest. I have a copy of the 2nd edition cdrom, but that is still under copywrite so I cannot give you a copy unless you can supply me with a valid license serial number. This was printed on the business reply card that came with the original distribution pack from Harecourt Brace. -Steve

[9fans] fun with ratrace
somebody was asking me about listen in the library. You can do this: ratrace -c /bin/aux/listen1 tcp!*!500 /bin/rc it's instructive; you can see how bits fit together. ron

I tend to add an exportfs of / late to the startup process which grabs the initial bootes namespace and posts it into /srv. Then I could do things like grab the server's keyfs without being at the console. It's not an ideal solution but it's not half bad and works well with the pieces available now. --nwf; pgp7ZvFzVaN2e.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: [9fans] sheevaplug port available
Hi,
My attempt to (belatedly) follow the instructions below has been
hindered by the fact that I don't seem to have the arm assembler 5a on
my i386 plan 9 system.
ls /bin/?c yields lots of compilers
ls /bin/?a yields only 0a and 8a.
Is 5a supposed to be there by default or should I build it from
source? If so how.
Thanks,
James
Thanks,

If you run replica/pull (or have done so recently), you'll find a new
kernel subtree, /sys/src/9/kw, which contains a basic port of Plan 9
to the Sheevaplug, derived from the port of native Inferno. 9plug is
a diskless cpu server supporting a serial console and gigabit
ethernet. booting(8) and /sys/doc/port.* have been updated to match.
`kw' stands for Kirkwood, the Marvell system-on-a-chip that the
Sheevaplug is based upon. There are more Kirkwood systems on the way.
What's not yet in this port: access to flash memory, USB devices,
memory cards and possibly more. The documentation for Kirkwood flash
and USB is some combination of vague, obscure, incomplete,
unavailable, contradictory and tediously voluminous. If you configure
in the USB drivers, you'll find that there appears to be an
unpopulated root hub, but that may be a figment of the usb driver's
imagination. The EHCI registers do seem to be present and we probably
just need to tweak some undocumented register to make it all go.
If you only been building 386 binaries to date, you'll want to edit
/sys/src/mkfile.proto to at least include the arm architecture:
OS=58
CPUS=arm 386
and make sure all your /386/bin compiler binaries are up to date:
cd /sys/src/cmd
for(i in ?c)
if(! ~ $i cc rc) @{
cd $i
mk clean
objtype=$cputype mk install
mk clean
}
and populate your /arm tree:
cd /sys/src
objtype=arm mk install
You should then be able to build a sheeva kernel:
cd /sys/src/9/kw
mk 'CONF=plug' install # `mk install' will work too
This should create /arm/9plug; see booting(8) to get started.
Enjoy!
