How do I enable hd dma? There's a dmamode=ask in my plan9.ini, but
I don't
see that option mentioned in the plan9.ini man.
echo dma on > /dev/sdXY/ctl
see in sd(3).
I've been running into mention of kfs throughout various rc scripts
and
whatnot; is kfs simply the default file system for a plan 9 terminal?
Kfs is the older disk file system for standalone terminals and the like.
For most purposes, fossil replaces it. Fossil is user-mode, while kfs
is a "kernel file system." See in kfs(4).
Where's the boot log located (I looked in /sys/log)? I'm seeing some
errors
being printed to the console after I specified which user to log in
as at the
prompt, but those errors vanish too quickly for me to parse.
cat /dev/kmesg
You will usually need to be hostowner. See in cons(3). (And also
kprint there, for
routing the messages elsewhere.)
Finally, regarding the errors I just mentioned, they seem to be
something
along the lines of:
"can't initialize venti /dev/scd0/arenas: arena header or trailer
corrupted"
My first guess is to ensure you haven't overlapped partitions or
something.
