I'm attempting to install Plan 9 from a USB floppy drive, but I
received the following error after the boot prompt:

fd0!dos does not contain a FAT file system

After reading PLAN9.INI(8) and numberous failed attempts at 
getting the settings right, I've decided to ask for help.

<Background>
I used rawrite program to copy 9disk.flp to the diskette. But
before doing that, I ensured that the floppy was formatted with 
the FAT file system. I used the format utility that comes with 
Windows XP.

BTW, I've also read http://insultant.net/repo/usbflop.html as a 
reference. But unfortunately, it didn't help my situation.

Does anyone have a working plan9.ini for booting from a USB floppy 
drive?

Thanks in advance.
