that's what i had.  i shall have to rattle its cage a bit more.

the vaio's have (essentially) f/s image cd's which do quick
[~10 minute] installs, but they _don't_ always work.  i
had to pull some old [2001] openbsd install floppy to
smash the mbr into some state where the install would
proceed further.  after a couple of install over install
loops i had '98 on it and then could install plan 9.

windows: a putrid system for a putrid architecture.
