Re: [9fans] Problems with the SD driver
Why is the manual for partfs in Section 8 (system administration) and not in Section 4 (file servers)? This is the reason why I have overseen it. Would it be reasonable to ask for the manpage to be moved?

Re: [9fans] ODROID-W
Isn't the ethernet in all cases provided by USB-ethernet adapter? Perhaps this board is more stable than the rpi. I don't really trust that, but would like to try it out.

Re: [9fans] ODROID-W
What I'd like to see is a USB-ethernet-wifi adapter, all in one. That would solve quite a few of our problems. Its asking quite a bit though. Has anyone seen this: http://www.hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G140383714860 Its a cap touch screen with USB and HDMi interfaces. Runs off 5V, 2A. Before the ODROID-W, I thought the screen would be good for an RPi Plan 9 tablet. Now I know its a good idea. Many thanks!

The /rc/bin/termrc script does this: @{ rfork n if(~ $monitor vesa) aux/realemu aux/vga -l $vgasize } so realemu is most likely not running in your namespace. 9atom does similar. this has caused a few questions, so i feel that it's really not worth the trouble to save a mb or two. gotchas are expensive. i'll probablly change this when i get a chance. - erik

This is the reason why I have overseen it. imho, it's a mistake to think that all file servers must be listed in section 4. some file servers are listed in section 3, because they're in the kernel. some are listed in section 8 because they are adminstrative commands, that happen to take the form of a file server. we can argue semantics, but either way it is done one ends up with the same dilemma that not all x command are listed in section of(x). - erik

Re: [9fans] AMD A68-N5000 kabini mother
the bootfs.paq with all the binaries is 1.5mb. and it has support for all the fileservers and network booting. we just reuse the rc scripts and binaries that are already there and not trying to make up special solutions just for booting to save a bit of memory. and having self contained rc environment in the kernel is great as it lets you debug the hardware before you have a working driver. (or you can instruct someone to run some rc commands to troubleshoot a system without him having the capability of building a new kernel (because theres no driver yet)). instead of having half broken smarts in the bootloader (like passing half the partitions from loader to kernel) which needs to duplicate all the drivers, we can just do that with the kernels drivers and rc scrips. the kernel doesnt care how it got loaded. it gets to the same environment every time regardless of who loaded it. i can boot terminal that mounts the root filesystem over wpa encrypted wifi network and there are no hacks there. it just runs the same programs early that you would normally run from termrc. if you want to make a specialized low memory overhead kernel that will only work on your machines then you still can by specifying different files and /boot/boot in your kernel configuration. -- cinap

My interesting poit is why I have 1400x1050x16 display which should be vesa mide. The workings of realemu are explained in the realemu(8) man page.
