i *doubt* that the floppy is trying to write to itself -- it reads alot
during boot, it's all reading, though.
if the installation isn't getting up to (or past) "...put 1.2Mb on your
disk..." i would think it's because it can't deal with your disk partition
set up.
it makes sense because the first stage of the install (into C:\PLAN9) is
just a step towards installing into it's own partition, which you don't
have.
i believe you have to have (maybe the *lowest* partition, i dont know) a
DOS partition *and* a free partition in the high end of your disk, in order
to begin any of the installation.
