This is an interesting thought. Actually, there was a spell of disc activity
before the hang, but by the sound of it I thought that this was on disc 1.
My Plan9 partion is on disc 2.

How long would it take to check a 5 Gb partition ? I waited 5 to 10 minutes.

And how would this fit in with the fact that I can fix it by rerunning
bootsetup from the installfloppy ?
