[9fans] (RPi) Added new user - now what?

[Roswell Grey]

I've done con -l /srv/fscons and gone through that process. But I don't
know what to do to log in as the new user. The console just does its
business and logs in to Glenda. How do I make it prompt, or is this even
possible? Thanks!

Check your plan9.ini (in the 9fat partition), it probably has a
"user=glenda" line in there. Remove it and it'll prompt for a user name.

Correct, except on the pi it's cmdline.txt instead of plan9.ini

... and it's a dos partition instead of 9fat. Mount with 'dosmnt 1 /n/d'

[Assuming you started with
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sources/contrib/miller/9pi.img.gz]

This is decided by what's in cmdline.txt on the dos partition.
Do the following

dosmnt 1 /n/dos
cd /n/dos
cp cmdline-term.txt cmdline.txt
fshalt -r
