help -- 486/33, adaptec scsi, dies on extract of disk2.vd

[bryan]

I'm trying to install onto a 486/33 with an Adaptec SCSI controller.
It seems to install disk1 just fine.  After running plan9\b.com and
choosing "install from 3 disks", it starts to extract from the second
disk and then dies with the message:

  /bin/rc
  The error was:
  rc 30:vdexpand 31:fail |
  Press any key to continue...

the "extract" window has:

  /n/kfs/...
  /n/kfs/386/b.com
  /n/kfs/386/9pcdisk
  out-of-sync
  expansion failed
  disk/mdex

I have tried new copies of disk 2.

I am running Windows 95 on the machine... but it failed the same way
when booting off of DOS 5.0 disks.

                                        ...bryan

I had it too -- remember, rob? -- But I'll have to go back to the office 
and check the hardware in that computer.

I'll make a new version of disk1 with a 9dos containing the DMA fix.
I'll post to 9fans when I've done it.

I have the same problem (but the exact message varies) on a Dell Optiplex
486/66 with Adaptec 1542 controller.
