Subject: Installing on second disk
Date: Mon, 31 Jul 1995 11:43:30 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <19950731154330.wGW9ljTm7ObI4iaLbp0Le24vhY-RTpfx1uPUmpmWwTY@z> (raw)

I reported problems trying to install plan9 on the second (D:) of a two
disk PC while retaining a dos partition there, with the new prep giving
an "error 23" mesage.  I solved the problem by creating my D: dos partition
as an extended, rather than primary, partition and by formatting that
partition with   format d: /s   rather than   format d:   .  I'll guess
that the "/s" is what's necessary, even though the D: disk isn't going to
be used as a DOS boot disk.

Now if I can only get the boot sequence to recognize my ATI ULTRA PRO
(which seems to be an entry in the vgadb as well).

Richard
