This is a bug in some disks that went
out over the weekend.  At the root is
from prompt, type local!#S/sdC0/fs
and then edit your main plan9.ini file
once you are running:

	9fat:
	ed /n/9fat/plan9.ini
	/bootargs
	d
	w
	q

to get rid of the "bootargs=" line.

We've started listing common problems at
plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9/errata.html, by the way.

Hello all,
After I completed the plan 9 install and wrote an MBR for it, I rebooted
and it came up to the following line:

root is from(il, local)[local!#f0/fd0disk]:

After the loging in as glenda it crashes with the error:

kfs...boot: nop...kfs init 6: can't read #f0/fd0disk

I am assuming that this error is caused because it's looking on the boot
floppy, which I've removed from the system.

I tried the install again, just to be sure that I wrote a plan9 boot
sector.  So My question is, how do I change where the boot loader is
looking?
I tried variations of local!#sdC0/sdC0disk as parameters to the root is
from: request, but nothing that I've tried has worked.

Thanks,
SF
