Hey,

I know we had a discussion of Plan 9 and VMWare, but I forget what the
conclusion was.  I was attempting to install Plan 9 using the disk
distribution, and I didn't make it very far.  The system appears to have
gone to the floppy to boot, but then I get the following:

Booting...
Protected-mode bootstrap
hd0:  LDA 1023435 sectors, 523998720 bytes
Boot devices:
boot from:

The system stops there, and nothing else will happen.  I managed to boot a
system without VMWare from the floppy.  Is there a workaround, or does Plan
9 just not work under VMWare?

Brad
