DESCRIPTION
These programs help maintain a file system on a local disk for a pri‐
vate machine.
Setup.disk partitions a disk and makes a new file system on the disk.
It then calls setup.9fat, update, and personalize to initialize the
file system.
Setup.9fat formats the named 9fat partition, installing /386/9load,
/386/9pcdisk, and the named plan9.ini file.
Update copies the current kernel to the disk and updates files on the
local file system by copying them from the main file server (named by
the environment variable $fileserver). The files it updates are speci‐
fied by the mkfs(8) prototype file /sys/lib/sysconfig/proto/386proto.
Personalize removes the contents of the /usr directory on the local
disk and copies a minimal set of files for the user who runs the com‐
mand.
The boot scripts prepare various ways to bootstrap Plan 9. Bootfloppy
creates a boot floppy containing 9load, a zeroed 512-byte plan9.nvr,
and the named file as plan9.ini. Bootplan9 sets the 9fat partition to
be the active partition, the one used at boot time. Bootwin9x edits
the files config.sys, msdos.sys, and autoexec.bat on the drive mounted
by c: to provide Plan 9 as a boot menu option. These system files are
first backed up as config.p9, msdos.p9, and autoexec.p9. Bootwinnt ed‐
its the Windows NT boot loader menu contained in the first FAT parti‐
tion's boot.ini to provide Plan 9 as an option. It is first backed up
as boot.p9. If backup files already exist, bootwin9x and bootwinnt do
nothing.
