I have a feeling the latest Plan 9 install floppy is broken. I have
attempted to use it for a fresh installation and with two different
disk drives it reported (a) that it found no MBR and (b) an I/O error
(error 68, in sector 0.446 or some such) when attempting to write the
MBR.
These were mid-capacity (4Gig and 8Gig, approximately) IDE drives
previously installed with Windows 98 (I know that's not English,
really, but I think it says what I want it to).
I suspect 9pcflop, as my somewhat older 9pcdisk has no such
difficulties. If anyone has installed off the floppy recently, please
let me know so I'll look for a different source for my woes.
