Thanks for trying out!

I guess it means burning a cd with a floppy-image in
order to boot, but where do you have your
plan9-userland when booting the floppy? On cd?
Obviously that is not an option in my case, since my
cd drive will be working as an overkill floppy... :-)

When I boot from cd instead of floppy, I hope it will
be able to recognize my plan9 directory on the
harddisk drive (the fat32lba partition, c:\plan9).

Best regards,
