DESCRIPTION
These programs help maintain a file system on a local disk
for a private 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 specified 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 command.
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 parti-
tion, 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 edits the Windows NT boot loader
menu contained in the first FAT partition's boot.ini to pro-
vide Plan 9 as an option. It is first backed up as boot.p9.
If backup files already exist, bootwin9x and bootwinnt do
nothing.
