Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2002 12:08:51 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020114170852.EF99C19A17@mail.cse.psu.edu> (raw)

You should be able to boot your install floppy (the
same one you used to do the install, not a fresh one) and
the menu will be the same as it was at the end,
so you can make boot floppies, etc.

Is your Plan 9 partition more than 8GB into the disk?
Once you get booted from a boot floppy, you could try

	disk/format -b /386/pbslba /dev/sdC0/9fat

to put in a PBS that can handle big disks.  (This is supposed
to happen automatically when you install into a partition
that is far into the disk; I'm not sure why it doesn't.)
