Subject: [9fans] Unable to boot from CD
Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2012 09:54:49 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <16922209.2557.1332231554137.JavaMail.geo-discussion-forums@pbcju1> (raw)

Previously I had a working Plan9 (3rd. Ed.) installation on my desktop, which had Pentium 4 processor. I am unable to boot from the same Plan9 CD, and even the 4th. Ed. CD, on my laptop. I get this error message:

PBS1...
Plan9 from Bell Labs
ELCR: 0C98
pcirouting: South bridge 8086, 2919 not found.
plan9.ini probe ... probing floppy ... probing bios ... probing CD ... probing sd ... no plan9.ini
cpu0: 2189MHz Core 2/Xeon
bios (usb) loading disabled
Boot devices: fd0
boot from:_

It stays put at this prompt with the blinking cursor. What could be the problem?

BTW, this page (http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/Mailing_lists/index.html) suggests not posting to this group directly, but the 9fans link (http://mail.9fans.net/listinfo/9fans) doesn't work so I wrote here. The page is outdated, maybe?
