The boddle is at ftp://ftp.ecf.toronto.edu/pub/plan9/steve/indy.bod To apply the boddle, create /sys/src/9/indy, and copy all the files from /sys/src/9/chm to it, then run the boddle and copy the new files to /sys/src/9/indy. This is a cpu kernel, so it does not support the Indy graphics. It also has problems getting the ethernet address from the nvram, so the ethernet driver (devseq.c) has been kludged to force the correct address for my indy. You'll have to hardwire it for your system until this is fixed. Just search for 'kludge' in devseq.c Since this kernel is based on the 9chm kernel, they share the other limitations listed in "The Various Ports". My indy has an R4000SC cpu, so I'd be interested in hearing from people with other cpus. Send comments to steve@ecf.toronto.edu please.

It seems that once a week there is a question about how to get DNS to work. It appears that this week is my turn. I'm using pppclient to give me dial-up ppp to my internet service provider. My machine is a standalone PC. I have been able to use everything (mothra, ftpfs, telnet, etc.) provided that my /lib/ndb/local file has an entry for the site to which I'm connecting. DNS can't seem to find either of my domain name servers. I have both 'ndb/cs' and 'ndb/dns' in my termrc, thinking that perhaps CS and DNS need to have an "active" /net/tcp to properly initialize, I've even tried 'ndb/cs' and 'ndb/dns' in a script to be started after the ppp connection is made. Nothing works. I keep getting a "can't translate address message". Here's an interesting clue: when I try connecting to an address, a message appears on my screen background "gnot [current date and time] can't connect udp". Having tried every combination of invoking CS and DNS, I wish to start tinkering more with /lib/ndb/local. Bearing in mind that I use dynamic ip addressing, what should an entry for my system look like? My ISP's domain name is infinet.com. My domain name servers are: ns=ns1.infinet.com ip=206.103.240.1 ns=ns2.infinet.com ip=206.103.240.2 I can't predict in advance what my ip addresses will be but I can determine them easily by reading /net/ipifc. I can't even predict in advance what my full domain name will be, but my system name is of the form: day-pXXX.infinet.com, where XXX is some number. Has anyone been down this road before? Any suggestions as to what my ndb/local entry should look like?

If you only have 1 plan9 system to work with, but you have Unix systems also, you could run your SS2 as a cpu&auth server, and use u9fs on a Unix box as your file server. see http://www.ecf.toronto.edu/plan9/info/u9fs If you can scare up another system for plan9, use one of them as a 'real' fileserver and follow the directions in the document "Installing the Plan 9 Distribution" at http://plan9.att.com/plan9/vol2.html You should also read fs(8), fsconfig(8), and pay attention to the "see also" sections. ------ original message follows ------ >From cse.psu.edu!9fans-outgoing-owner Wed Mar 6 01:02:46 EST 1996 Received: by colossus.cse.psu.edu id <78630>; Wed, 6 Mar 1996 00:53:00 -0500 Received: from nacho.cisco.com ([171.69.1.160]) by colossus.cse.psu.edu with SMTP id <78628>; Wed, 6 Mar 1996 00:52:43 -0500 Received: from localhost.cisco.com (localhost.cisco.com [127.0.0.1]) by nacho.cisco.com (8.6.8+c/CISCO.SERVER.1.1) with SMTP id VAA11242 for <9fans@cse.psu.edu>; Tue, 5 Mar 1996 21:52:16 -0800 Message-Id: <199603060552.VAA11242@nacho.cisco.com> X-Authentication-Warning: nacho.cisco.com: Host localhost.cisco.com didn't use HELO protocol From: alex@p9.com To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu Subject: Headless SPARC as File/Auth server?

Bear in mind also that the 9ssfs kernel is known to work only on a SPARCstation 2 (/The Various Ports/), so check that whatever extra machine you find is suitable.

What is the udp=bootpc port=68 service in /lib/ndb/local on the CD ? I'm trying to bring up a small network, but I can't get hold of a real file server, so I'm using u9fs on a Solaris Sparc. Installing the CD to u9fs worked fine, but I can't get the terminal to use it as root. Initially my problem was that tcp did not appear in the list of options for root fileservers. I fixed that by creating a bootp server on an HP system (Solaris seems not to support bootp). The terminal PC now tftp's 9pc fine, and tcp appears in the "root from" question, but whatever answer I give the terminal never talks to the u9fs server. Snooping the ethernet shows that after I hit return to the root from question it sends udp/68 packets to the system that it booted from - it never gets an answer since no one is listening on the port. I looked in the docs and the CD and all I could find was the line in /lib/ndb/local mentioned above. What am I doing wrong ?
