>>Does Plan 9 perhaps have some problem with Pentium II boards?  I combed

the pentium II is fine (i run plan9 on my p-ii thinkpad), although
once you've got the system running you'll want to apply some changes
(from plan9.bell-labs.com) to detect the cpu type correctly.
otherwise the system will say you've got an 852MHz 586 or some such thing,
and it will use the wrong values to limit a few busy-wait delays.
i'd be surprised if you had too much trouble just installing the 4 disk
set even with the cpu type detected incorrectly.
