NAME
binstall – install a planb with a replica

SYNOPSIS
binstall repletter

DESCRIPTION
Binstall installs a planb on /dev/sdC0 partitioning the system, making the hard disk bootable and configurating two replicas, one for the user and one for the system.

NOTE: ALL THE CONTENTS ON /dev/sdC0 will be lost.

The user must boot with a floppy from the filesystem to replicate. Then add a letter for himself on /lib/repl/Readme. The plan9.ini and the kernel for the 9fat partition are extracted from this floppy. The parameter repletter is a unique letter representing the system replica. It must be added by hand to /lib/repl/Readme.

Add relevant facts for you (new) computer in /what/$sysname in the appropriate context file.

This progra creates at $home/bin/rc/synccmd a script which can be run (maybe customized), to synchronize the two replicas generated.

EXAMPLES

The letter for the replica is z:
binstall z
/rc/bin/binstall
