Hello, It is curious for me that if 9fat is formatted by disk/format of 9front, then 9atom fails in boot with the error message MBR...PBS2...Bad format or I/O errors (or PBS1) In making 9fat, I applied 9atom’s pbslba, 9load, etc except disk/format: disk/format -b pbslba -d -r 2 /dev/sdC0/9fat 9load 9pc*f plan9.ini
I guess PBS2 claims that format of the allocation table is wrong because if the 9fat is formatted by disk/format of 9atom then 9atom can boot up. term% xd -c /dev/sdC0/9fat # formatted using 9front ... 0000400 f8 ff ff ff 03 00 04 00 05 00 06 00 07 00 \b 00 0000410 \t 00 \n 00 0b 00 0c 00 \r 00 0e 00 0f 00 10 00 0000420 11 00 12 00 13 00 14 00 15 00 16 00 17 00 18 00 0000430 19 00 1a 00 1b 00 1c 00 1d 00 1e 00 1f 00 00 0000440 ! 00 " 00 # 00 $ 00 % 00 & 00 ' 00 ( 00 0000450 ) 00 * 00 + 00 , 00 - 00 . 00 / 00 0 00 Kenji Arisawa
