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 ? -- Posted from host213-122-248-217.btinternet.com [213.122.248.217] via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG --upas-lyvoajhwssrszpnkveqcnsdyad--
