Hi,

I have an = early version of the Plan 9 demo (serial number 0561). I'm using 86Box (Soc= ket 7 VX Shuttle HOT-557 Pentium 100) to boot it. It boots, but then presen= ts:

root is from (local, il, tcp)[local!#f/fd0= disk]:

I press enter

<= div>user[none]:
fs...fs...time...
init: startin= g /bin/rc
/fs 14: serving #s/dos
Mouse port is = (ps2, 0 (called COM1 in DOS), or 1 (called COM2 in DOS)):
I type ps20 (cuz my ps2 mouse is emulated on COM1?)
bunch of stuff scrolls by and ends with:

in= it: rc exit status: rc 9:false

init: starting = /bin/rc
term%

Did I provide reas= onable responses and how do I start the windows system (whoever thought of = naming it 8 1/2, by the way?). I can't even type it in the console whatever= 1/2 character was used :).
