for the archives: at some point the contents of
the install floppy got copied to pete's c:\ drive
(hence the using sdC0!dos!plan9.ini message).
the install plan9.ini and a normal boot plan9.ini
differ in important ways (like where root is from
by default, etc.). we fixed the problem by
renaming c:\plan9.ini to something else so that
the plan9.ini on 9fat gets found.

I found that my floppy drive had a head mis-align, so I've fixed that.
The problem now goes as follows.
I have a basic system with no audio, and a NE2000 'compatable' card
a longshine as it happens.
The system is setup with a dos partition which contains the plan9 install file
when running the install I setup a second partition for the plan9
use the default settings and accept what is suggested.
At the boot option I select the floppy boot option give it a brand new disk.
It then creates the boot floppy then finishs the install after writing the
install process to the install floppy.
I then hard restart the system with the boot floppy and the system stops
with the following error
using sdC0!dos!plan9.ini
error walking to 9pcflop.gz
I then look at the install floppy plan9ini.bak file and it points to
bootfile=sdC0!9fat!9pcdisk
What am I doing wrong please ?
