Subject: can't boot plan9 on a stand_alone PC?
Date: Fri, 11 Aug 1995 18:45:28 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <19950811224528.x_H6yMa6FcYyO3UkQiOts5ebjqTiK2l-v04wPKjE2Hc@z> (raw)

- The system:
  a PC compatiable with a Pentium735 chip, and 853 MB IDE drive.
  Made a partition of 80 MB (C drive) and DOS formatted, leaving
  the rest of the hard disk to plan9.

- How the problem started:
  plan9 runs perfectly until I added additional hard disks and then
  did partitions from C:\ using fdisk of DOS command.

- Symptom:
  when run plan9 from DOS, c:\plan9\b.com, get error message on screen,
  .bad majic 0xf6xxxxxx not a plan 9 executable!
  boot from:

- Question:
  How to recover?

I would appreciate any hints!
