Re: [9fans] 9legacy under OpenBSD's vmm
When you do the initial install, interrupt the boot sequence and type console=0 as the documentation describes. Install the system as usual, then reboot and log in again using the consoole=0 dance. Once you're logged in you can mount the 9fat partition (9fs 9fat) and then edit /n/9fat/plan9.ini to add the console=0 line. The best way to deal with the vm console interface is to mark the vm as 'disabled' in vm.conf and then start it manually with 'vmctl -c start'. This will get you connected to the bios console early enough for you to interrupt the boot process to type those overrides. Once you have plan9.ini tuned to your satisfaction you can change the vm declaration to 'enabled' and let it autoboot. --lyndon -- 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Te13afbfe31e87665-M2db8c26d4737e829f7ec39c0 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription

Re: [9fans] 9legacy under OpenBSD's vmm
I would like to run 9legacy on OpenBSD as well. Unfortunately, I'm still learning and even though finding and ideally contributing solutions to such bugs is a distant goal of mine, my only current option is to run on 9front. In the wiki (https://wiki.9front.org/openbsd-vmm) it says: "Since VMM doesn’t provide any display functionality, 9front’s console has to be redirected to virtual serial port by adding console=0 to plan9.ini. It makes sense to also use display=none while at it. Note that even though you might not have a chance to modify plan9.ini before booting, stopping boot process with an early hit of a key, typing an additional configuration in, and then boot is ought to work." Unfortunately, the only way I know to start a VM under OpenBSD is to set up the vm in /etc/vm.conf, enable and start vmd via rcctl and then connect via SSH or vmctl console. Could someone possibly help me out and explain how I can edit the plan9.ini during the boot process, please? Thank you very much in advance! -- 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Te13afbfe31e87665-M8fd548688b12d7af925e6fa9 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription

Re: [9fans] 9legacy under OpenBSD's vmm
David, How do your drivers handle a virtio-based CD-ROM? qemu by default uses IDE, or can be configured to use SATA CD-ROM devices, however, OpenBSD's vmd(8) strictly uses a virtio-based CD-ROM. I don't know how the interactions end up differing between hard drive and CD-ROM access in that case, but its something to look at if you weren't aware of it. >From OpenBSD 6.9 booted using vmd(8) on OpenBSD 7.0.

If you think that's the case then I need to build out enough local infrastructure to be able to build 9legacy ISOs. Then I can start printfing in the kernel to see if I can track this down. That might take a while, though, as I'm quite hardware constrained right now (thus the attempt at the vmm-based VM). --lyndom -- 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Te13afbfe31e87665-M0efd869d756a7a4e1bb8945c Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
