[9fans] QEMU and Venti

[Pietro Gagliardi]

Hello. Someone just told me the fault on why QEMU crashes every time I  
boot Plan 9 -- venti. With a fossil only system, everything worked  
without a hitch -- until that corrupt root entry fiasco which cost me  
a book I was writing, a troff preprocessor (eg, for graphing  
equations), my extensions to hoc(1), and other items. So I went to  
fossil+venti, suffered several crashes on Tiger but little else, then  
went to Leopard to find out that it always crashed. So I'll go back to  
fossil-only and be locked in prayer that it doesn't happen again. I  
have no knowledge of filesystem design so I can't help with venti. -
