I am a student at the University of Waikato in New Zealand and I am trying to 
install Plan 9 on an IBM PC using the floppy drive as a file server.  The 
process is explained in the notes in the release 2 documentation and I have 
followed the procedure to the best of my ability.  

Unfortunately I get the following message each time I try to start Plan 9:

	"Panic: Boot process dying..."

and then the computer crashes.

If anyone knows of a solution then I would be very grateful.

Thanks in advance
