you can work around this (i admit it's a hack) by
starting a new rio window, running "cat /dev/kmesg",
then hiding the window. be sure to turn scroll on
before hiding.
Thanks for the help erik, but that didn't work. cat finishes
and the console output keeps filling the screen making impossible the
installation.

Can I boot the official Plan9 with your bootloader?

trebol.

i have tested this. but my instructions might have been faulty.
i normally run this command on any terminal
i log into (including the redundant set of scrolling :-( ):

window -m -hide -scroll rc -c 'echo scroll>/dev/wctl; label kmesg; tail -f /dev/kprint&'

if you have to type in the face of interrupts, you might need to cut that down to just
the "tail -f /dev/kprint"
