izaki Hello!
Has anyone been able to run Plan9 on qemu?
digijohn Yes
I was, however, unable to get online with it from qemu
sretzki yeah, networking is not one of qemus strengths
digijohn Nor is configuring the network one of Plan 9's :-)
sretzki you get some IP from an undocumented dhcp, but it does
not work, right, digijohn?
I use this in /etc/qemu-ifup on Linux:
; cat /etc/qemu-ifup
#!/bin/sh
sudo -p "Password for $0:" /sbin/ifconfig $1 172.20.0.1
sudo ipmasq
sudo killall -9 udhcpd
sudo udhcpd
;
and then configure the Plan 9 network with the usual ip/ipconfig.
One can even run u9fs and then boot using that as the root file
system, which is great for testing. When I was doing the x86 mmu
code I built the kernels under Linux (compilers just build under
plan9port; kernel mkfiles needed slight tweaking since / wasn't
the Plan 9 root) and then tested by booting in qemu (or bochs,
if things were very broken).
AshyIsMe hello
does inferno have a less equivalent?
"man something" is kinda annoying when it just all
scrolls by
digijohn Hey guys, I'm setting up my Plan 9 disk (6 GB), and
I need to know how much should go for fossil and how
much for venti
fgb yes
AshyIsMe, wm/man
AshyIsMe k
On Inferno, like Plan 9, the equivalent of less (nee more) is "p".
(Wm/man is definitely better for this particular case.)
uriel god, they use two spaces in google? now that is the
ultimate confirmation that they are morons.
I think this speaks for itself, in many ways.
