It seems that Plan9 boot loader doesn't support modern hard= ware from IBM :(

May be someone from IBM can help :)

P.S.: = I have some IBM HS21 servers and I wish to use Plan9 on them.=C2=A0
2009/5/19 nocturnal <swehack@gmail.com>
When booting the installcd on my ibm xserve 305 it says;
Bios call failed: bios loading disabled
no plan9.i= ni
then it gives me a boot from: prompt but it doesn&#= 39;t matter which ide interface or device i try, it just brings me back to = the prompt.=C2=A0
FreeBSD is installed on this particular machine right now a= nd it does in fact have a floppy so i'm gonna try the floppy too but it= would be nice if someone could look into the source and see why it's g= iving this BIOS error.=C2=A0
Or just point me to the correct source file if it is availa= ble online somewhere?=C2=A0
