Hi all,
I tried installation of plan9 on a AMD K6-2 500MHz system, with an AGP
Riva TNT2 card, 256 MB RAM, 10 GB HDD.
Thing is, on friday, the installation floppy booted just fine. But
my mouse was disconnected, and so I rebooted to connect the mouse.
In that much time the floppy got corrupted. Since I didnot have another
floppy, I waited for a day to get another 1.
On Saturday, there were some changes to the boot floppy, as Russ Cox said
in his mail.
When I boot from this new image, I get an error from mount, that the
filesystem is unknown / unsupported, and the floppy is not mounted
during boot. As a result, the installation stops saying it cannot find 2-3
files (plan9.ini, vgadb). It drops me to a shell.
Here if I run a command a:, the install disk gets mounted and I can see
the files on the floppy under /n/a:/. But at this point I am not able to
figure out how to get the installation started again.
So how do I get the floppy mounted correctly at boot OR, how do I
restart a stopped installation?
TIA
Jatin
