.SH DESCRIPTION
30 
These programs help maintain a file system on a local disk for a private machine.
31 
.PP
32 
.I Setup.disk
33 
partitions a disk
34 
and makes a new file system on the disk.
35 
It then calls
36 
.IR setup.9fat ,
37 
.IR update ,
38 
and
39 
.I personalize
40 
to initialize the file system.
41 
.PP
42 
.I Setup.9fat
43 
formats the named
44 
.I 9fat
45 
partition,
46 
installing
47 
.BR /386/9load ,
48 
.BR /386/9pcdisk ,
49 
and the named
50 
.I plan9.ini
51 
file.
52 
.PP
53 
.I Update
54 
copies the current kernel to the disk and updates
55 
files on the local file system by copying them from the main file server
56 
(named by the environment variable
57 
.BR $fileserver ).
58 
The files it updates are specified by the
59 
.IR mkfs (8)
60 
prototype file
61 
.BR /sys/lib/sysconfig/proto/386proto .
62 
.PP
63 
.I Personalize
64 
removes the contents of the
65 
.B /usr
66 
directory on the local disk and copies a minimal set of files for
67 
the user who runs the command.
68 
.PP
69 
The boot scripts prepare various ways to bootstrap Plan 9.
70 
.I Bootfloppy
71 
creates a boot floppy containing
72 
.BR 9load ,
73 
a zeroed 512-byte
74 
.BR plan9.nvr ,
75 
and the named file as
76 
.BR plan9.ini .
77 
.I Bootplan9
78 
sets the
79 
.B 9fat
80 
partition to be the active partition, the one
81 
used at boot time.
82 
.I Bootwin9x
83 
edits the files
84 
.BR config.sys ,
85 
.BR msdos.sys ,
86 
and
87 
.B autoexec.bat
88 
on the drive mounted by
89 
.B c:
90 
to provide Plan 9
91 
as a boot menu option.
92 
These system files are first backed up
93 
as
94 
.BR config.p9 ,
95 
.BR msdos.p9 ,
96 
and
97 
.BR autoexec.p9 .
98 
.I Bootwinnt
99 
edits the Windows NT
100 
boot loader menu contained in
101 
the first FAT partition's
102 
.I boot.ini
103 
to provide Plan 9
104 
as an option.
105 
It is first backed up as
106 
.IR boot.p9 .
107 
If backup files already exist,
108 
.I bootwin9x
109 
and
110 
.I bootwinnt
111 
do nothing.
