Subject: IBM-PC install on E: drive?
Topicbox-Message-UUID: 329644b8-eac8-11e9-9e20-41e7f4b1d025

I just downloaded the Plan-9 demo system to my IBM-PC, and I am ready to
give it a try.  However, I'm not sure if I will even be able to
perform the install, because the documentation specifies the install
to go to the C: drive, and I would prefer to install it on my E:
drive.

I have a 1 gig hard disk which is split into 3 partitions, C:, D:, and
E:.  Therefore, my E: drive is not on a separate disk.  This partition
is already large enough to accomodate the Plan-9 software (it's around
200 meg), and what I would like to do is simply to make it a non-DOS
partition and do the install.  Yes, I know: if I make this partition
non-DOS, then it will not be the "E:" drive any more.

Will this work?  It seems like it will.  Has anyone tried something
like this?

And while I'm here, I might as well ask if anyone has had any trouble
using DPT SCSI disk controllers with Plan-9.  My particular model
is PM 2021.

Thanks in advance.
