Subject: [9fans] Can't boot after R4 install
Date: Fri,  3 May 2002 10:37:57 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1260c5bb.0205021655.7d5d8207@posting.google.com> (raw)

I had R3 installed in a Dell Inspiron 3500 laptop. When I created a
floppy and booted it, I got a continous stream of console messages of
the format: "Selection:                     line to long"
right after 2 "pc routing" messages. I got a new floppy, rewrote the
install floppy, booted fine. Completed the install, made a boot disk,
and set the system to boot plan9 from hard drive.

When I reooted, I got the same messages as above, either booting from
the hard drive or boot disk. Has anyone seen this before? Any
suggestions? I suspected my plan9.ini file, but did not see anything
very obvious.
