I'll try LBA (i think it's that already though) Even with the newer BIOS it still says MBR not found but boots anyway! The plan9 on the first 3rd ed CD boots just fine on the same BIOS (not tried it with this disk. I used a 20G but could only "see" the first 8Gb. ) > Shift is the button that turns button 3 into button 2. I've had no joy whatsoever with my serial mice. I tried -dC, I tried the holding down B1. I've put a ps2intellimouse on there for now but which is a shame. The wheel feels wrong as a button but at least I can save files. I'm sure I'll find the perfect mouse one day (heck I've been using a trackball on it all week). I'm getting closer and closer to plan9 as my main desktop now but using vnc to get my imap mail, irc & mozilla with FreeBSD. M
