i downloaded a new install diskette image a few days ago and
it seems to have cured my boot problems - probably courtesy of
the floppy driver fix that russ mentioned a week ago ?  thanks.

plan9 is now installed on my secondary hard drive and booting
via lilo.

i have a 3c450 pci nic (what linux calls a 3c450 HomePNA Tornado)
for which i had to make the following minor changes to etherelnk3.c:

39d38
<  *	4500 PCI	3C450
1843d1841
< 	case 0x4500:		/* 3C450 Tornado */
1919c1917
< 	if(did == 0x9055 || did == 0x7646 || did == 0x9200 || did == 0x5157 || did == 0x4500){
---
> 	if(did == 0x9055 || did == 0x7646 || did == 0x9200 || did == 0x5157){


i was getting system "lockups" quite frequently prior to booting a
pcdisk kernel with the above changes, but i haven't had any in the
few hours since (don't know if they're related or not ?).
