Sender: owner-9fans@cse.psu.edu Precedence: bulk Reply-To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu The subject line above pretty much says it all. The only free disk space that I have available is at the end of my second IDE drive on my system. Will I be able to boot to it? Or can I boot from a floppy which would point to Plan 9 on my second drive? If this is possible, what files (or whatever) would need to be changed and what would those changes be? BTW, I have a 486/33 DX with 20Mbytes RAM, 2 - 330Mbyte IDE disk drives, Orchid F1280 VGA and Mitsumi FX-200D CDROM. TIA! -- Bob LaGesse bobl@lexis-nexis.com LEXIS-NEXIS Dayton, Ohio (513)865-7384
