Subject: Installing Plan 9 on an IBM PC
Topicbox-Message-UUID: 0ac8cdac-eac8-11e9-9e20-41e7f4b1d025
Message-ID: <19950405231627.ID3rpEgDH75BCQzOZKU3OaDVErJvVlOPFBacPm1WhnM@z>

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
