Another stab at plan9
I used to run plan9 on my old pentium1 laptop and pentium1 PCs in the last millenium. In fact, I had bought specific hardware such as 3com 3C589 or Orinoco Wavelan PCMCIA devices supported by plan9.
I never had any any luck to run plan9 (or variants such as 9atom) on more modern gear. My only successful attempt to run plan9 on a 1000H Eeepc was with Russ Cox' 9vx.
This day started off with some googling after bhyve
plan9, took a turn via proxmox plan9, and ended
with another read of the 9front pages. Since I'm
running now pretty decent hardware capable of running
qemu, this is now a viable option:
This is just an initial boot. The actual installation has to wait for another day. I am still a complete klutz with using qemu and had to google how to get my mouse back. (Luckily, another machine was at hand.)
