Yes,
echo hwaccel off >/dev/vgactl
fixed my problem. Here is the dump from pci:

This is a bug that we fixed recently but hasn't
made it into the distribution archive yet, which
still causes problems on some machines.

To fix the problem, it should be enough just to
copy the file 9load from the install floppy to the
boot floppy that you made.  (They're DOS-format
floppies, so any OS will do.)

[9fans] v4 hangs on boot

[ivanGeo]

Hi,

I am new to plan9. I succesfully booted from the install disc,
downloaded the *.iso from the network, etc... Everything seemed to
work (I was just folowing the installation instructions on the
screen). At the point for bootsetup (or something like this) I chose
to boot from a floppy. Then followed the instructions on the screen up
to the point for the reboot. When I rebooted I got only this on the
screen:

PBS... Plan 9 from bell Labs
ELCR: 0A00
apm ax=f000 cx=f000 dx=40 di=ffff ebx=4a84 esi=-1

It stays here forever. I am wondering what I did wrong. The
installation procedure seemed to recognize the ethernet card, the
video card, ... but after all doesn't boot. I installed plan9 on my
secondary HD.
Please let me know how to fix it. You can email me directly to:
igueor82@maine.edu

Thanks a lot!

Ivan
