Subject: Cannot boot Plan 9 in my motherboard

Hello,
After buying a CDROM drive and a SCSI hard disk,
I have tried to install Plan 9 in my machine. I had installed it
putting the disk in a machine I borrowed from a friend without
trouble. (Well, actually I hadn't the CDROM reader yet,
so the disk has only the three-diskette set installed).
Today I have tried to boot the disk in my machine
(a 386/25 with 387, 8 MB of RAM and OPTI chipset)
without success. The motherboard is rather old (the BIOS is from 1990).
The SCSI adapter is a Adaptec 1540CF and the disk is a Quantum
Trailblazer (850 MB)
The system has crashed when it prompts "root from:.... #w0/..."
At that point the keyboard didn't respond. Does it stil use the BIOS in
that stage to read the disk (it could be a problem of too many cylinders)
or may it is another kind of compatibility problem?
Ah, the system didn't give any panic message; simply died
silently.
If I cannot make it work I will buy another motherboard...
Thanks in advance,
Borja Marcos.
