Hi,
I did a pull on friday.
today i rebooted and i get this error
init: Starting /bin/rc
rc: null list in concatination
init: rc exit status: rc 23: error
init: startin /bin/rc
... Does anyone know whats going on.
I tried deleting my /rc/bin/termrc and pulling it and plan9.bell-
labs.com connection refused.
diskparts (which is run by termrc) needs that /dev/sysname to
be set and because it isn't you get that error.
add "sys=yourmachine ether=yournickmacaddr" to your /lib/ndb/local
to find out yourmacaddr cat /net/ether0/addr.

I don't think that is quite correct. The error is indeed caused by an empty
sysname, but happens in termrc after diskparts is run. It probably bails at
the line
if(test -e /cfg/$sysname/termrc)

exactly, because diskparts does
sysname='{cat /dev/sysname}

I see. I didn't think about this, as that line happens to be in termrc, too.
(And before subsequent uses of sysname.) But after all the error is
independent of diskparts. But you're right, I should check my facts
sometimes.

nah, don't worry, I was lucky this time : )
