First, add your user to the adm group. If using fossil, see instructions.
Afterwards, set your timezone.
Next, prepare the rc scripts that run on system bootup.
It is then necessary to configure networking.
Networking must be configured before running ndb/dns. Otherwise, you might see errors like:

Configure network information with

Make sure to configure the auth server.
Build the cpu kernel for x86:
; cd /sys/src/9/pc ; mk 'CONF=pccpuf' ; 9fat: ; cp /sys/src/9/pc/9pccpuf /n/9fat/
Add these lines to the beginning of /n/9fat/plan9.ini

Make sure to replace sdC0 with your actual disk. Make sure also to delete the pre-existing line:

Append these lines to the bottom of /lib/ndb/auth:

You may need to reboot and login as hostowner (bootes) in order for the next step to work.
If you do reboot, select 1 for Plan 9 CPU Kernel:

Change the hostowner's password:
; auth/keyfs ; auth/changeuser bootes
If you are using 9front drawterm and want to connect in text-only mode (no graphics) with the -G flag, you will need to edit $home/lib/profile to remove calls to rio. Comment out line 31:
# exec rio
You can run the below command:
; mv (/usr/$user/lib/)^(profile profile.bak) ; sed '31s/^/#/' /usr/$user/lib/profile.bak > /usr/$user/lib/profile
Then afterwards, you will be able to connect with drawterm -G as follow:
$ drawterm -u $USER -h $SYSNAME -G
After connecting, it is recommended you run /sys/lib/newuser so that rio can work.

You may need to reboot and login as hostowner (bootes) in order for the next step to work.
If you do reboot, select 1 for Plan 9 CPU Kernel:
Plan 9 Startup Menu: ==================== 1. Plan 9 CPU Kernel 2. Plan 9 Terminal Kernel Selectiondefault==1 (10s timeout): 1
When prompted, fill in the following values:
authid: bootes authdom: example.com auth password: secstore password:
Change the hostowner's password:
term% auth/keyfs term% auth/changeuser bootes
If you are using 9front drawterm and want to connect in text-only mode (no graphics) with the -G flag, you will need to edit $home/lib/profile to remove calls to rio. Comment out line 31:
# exec rio
You can run the below command:
term% mv (/usr/$user/lib/)^(profile profile.bak) term% sed '31s/^/#/' /usr/$user/lib/profile.bak > /usr/$user/lib/profile
Then afterwards, you will be able to connect with drawterm -G as follow:
$ drawterm -u $USER -h $SYSNAME -G
After connecting, it is recommended you run /sys/lib/newuser so that rio can work.

First, add your user to the adm group. If using fossil, see instructions.
Afterwards, set your timezone, see timezone-p9.ms.
Next, make sure to configure your network information. See ndb-p9.ms.
Now, we prepare rc scripts that must run on system bootup:
term% mkdir /cfg/$sysname/ term% dircp /cfg/example /cfg/$sysname/
Now, we need to configure networking:
If you have static networking (eg, you have a virtual private server), edit /cfg/$sysname/cpurc to uncomment this line:
ip/ipconfig -g your-gateway ether /net/ether0 your-ip-address your-subnet-mask
If you are using wifi and dynamic networking, you may need to add these lines:
bind -a '#l1' /net echo 'key proto=wpapsk essid=ESSID
password='^`{cat /lib/wpa/ESSID} > /mnt/factotum/ctl aux/wpa -2 -s
'ESSID'
/net/ether1
ip/ipconfig
ether
/net/ether1
Replace ESSID and make sure to store the wifi password in /lib/wpa/ESSID.
Note: You may also want to copy these lines to /cfg/$sysname/termrc and also to run the command manually, because by default, plan 9 runs as a terminal service. It will not run as a cpu service until the cpu kernel has been compiled as described below.
Note: You *must* run ip/ipconfig before running ndb/dns (and possibly other network services). Otherwise, you might see errors like:
ndb/dns: can't read my ip address
term% auth/wrkey bad authentication password bad authentication id bad authentication domain authid: glenda authdom: example.com auth password: secstore password:
Make sure to configure the auth server, see auth-p9.ms.
Build the cpu kernel for x86:
cd /sys/src/9/pc mk 'CONF=pccpuf' term% 9fat: term% cp /sys/src/9/pc/9pccpuf /n/9fat/ Add these lines to the beginning of /n/9fat/plan9.ini
menu menuitem=cpu, Plan 9 CPU Kernel menuitem=terminal, Plan 9 Terminal Kernel menudefault=cpu, 10
cpu bootfile=sdC0/!9fat!9pccpuf
terminal bootfile=sdC0!9fat!9pcf
common nobootprompt=local!#S/sdC0/fossil
Make sure to replace sdC0 with your actual disk. Make sure also to delete the pre-existing line:
bootfile=sdC0!9fat!9pcf
Clear nvram and then set a new password:
term% echo garbage >/dev/sdC0/nvram
Remember to replace sdC0 with your actual hard disk.
Set the password:
term% auth/keyfs
Add the hostowner bootes to sys and adm groups:
term% con -Cl /srv/fscons prompt: uname bootes bootes prompt: uname sys +bootes prompt: uname adm +bootes prompt: fsys main main: create /active/cron/bootes bootes bootes d775 main: create /active/sys/log/cron bootes bootes a664
