Hi.

I just downloaded a boot floppy to install another
machine last night and it booted fine, so I don't
think the install floppy is broken.

However I have seen funnies in tha past with floppies not being
recognised - usually with very old hardware, perhaps one of the
floppy timeouts is a bit conservative?

Just guessing...

-Steve

Floppy images I downloaded in the past couple of days produce the subject
diagnostic right after finding the 53C810 SCSI adapter (I also have IDE
disks).  I have both 3.5" floppy drives attached.  The images have passed
Windows CheckDisk testing etc.
So how can I get Plan 9 installed?  Do I have to unplug a floppy drive or
what?
