I mean the download you get directed to when "just" (sorry to sound so
simplistic) downloading plan9 at the default links ("Download the
Distribution"). This is in contrast to the daily build (in additonal
downloads the "Sources Snapshot") that is also advertised at the Bell
Labs download site.
Hope that clarifies stuff! I had assumed you failed with one of the
snapshots. The standard works fine for my TNT2. However I also tried
with a ATI Mach64: fine during installation, but after first "real"
boot, it just produces rubbish. Didn't pursue that as my TNT2 works
fine. Except on a motherboard that has an onboard Intel vga....
As an aside - great work you did on the mbr testing. I'll follow up on
that another time. It buggers me as well and I want to do more testing
there myself. Strange thing too, that (like with my Mach64) the
install situation is not quite the same as the HDD full boot
situation. Or whatever you want to call that ...
Later
Martin
