.SH DESCRIPTION
These programs help maintain a file system on a local disk for a private machine.
.PP
.I Setup.disk
partitions a disk
and makes a new file system on the disk.
It then calls
.IR setup.9fat ,
.IR update ,
and
.I personalize
to initialize the file system.
.PP
.I Setup.9fat
formats the named
.I 9fat
partition,
installing
.BR /386/9load ,
.BR /386/9pcdisk ,
and the named
.I plan9.ini
file.
.PP
.I Update
copies the current kernel to the disk and updates
files on the local file system by copying them from the main file server
(named by the environment variable
.BR $fileserver ).
The files it updates are specified by the
.IR mkfs (8)
prototype file
.BR /sys/lib/sysconfig/proto/386proto .
.PP
.I Personalize
removes the contents of the
.B /usr
directory on the local disk and copies a minimal set of files for
the user who runs the command.
.PP
The boot scripts prepare various ways to bootstrap Plan 9.
.I Bootfloppy
creates a boot floppy containing
.BR 9load ,
a zeroed 512-byte
.BR plan9.nvr ,
and the named file as
.BR plan9.ini .
.I Bootplan9
sets the 
.B 9fat
partition to be the active partition, the one
used at boot time.
.I Bootwin9x
edits the files
.BR config.sys ,
.BR msdos.sys ,
and
.B autoexec.bat
on the drive mounted by
.B c:
to provide Plan 9
as a boot menu option.
These system files are first backed up
as 
.BR config.p9 ,
.BR msdos.p9 ,
and
.BR autoexec.p9 .
.I Bootwinnt
edits the Windows NT 
boot loader menu contained in
the first FAT partition's
.I boot.ini
to provide Plan 9 
as an option.
It is first backed up as
.IR boot.p9 .
If backup files already exist,
.I bootwin9x
and
.I bootwinnt
do nothing.
