Re: [9fans] 64-bit usb boot environment
Erik, quick question: how can I go about getting it into one of my USB drives (if possible a method without needing a working P9, because all I have are virtual machines and I think they are in my other computer) and testing some of my I'd like P9 here but installing got f*ed up? I think every time I have tried it something or other has either made it non boot, or pretty similar (plug, reboot, nothing, repeat) Thanks, Ruben On Mon, Oct 21, 2013 at 6:48 AM, erik quanstrom quans...@quanstro.netwrote: this isn't perfect, or complete, but there is a minimal 64-bit and/or 386/pae usb boot environment here http://ftp.quanstro.net/other/usbtest.bz2. it's only 10mb, so it should be a quick download. the reason for building this was to quickly debug a system that wouldn't install, but it might be interesting to try out. a few random notes and gotchas: 0. with dhcp, one can get to get to the full distribution with: ip/ipconfig ndb/dns 9fs atom 1. you will find the usb boot device @ /dev/sdu0, a loopback device. 2. there is a bug in kfs (patched in 9atom; patch submitted to sources) to be aware of. so be careful if using tools from sources on 64-bit kernels. 3. finally, there's (by plan 9 standards) quite a bit of acpi support in the 64-bit kernel. power events have been somewhat rashly turned on, and may cause trouble. as always, i'd be interested in any reports of success or failure. - erik
