I've downloaded the plan9 instalation CD and booted a vmWare virtual machine
using that .iso as a cd rom media.

All went fine. It booted and i could install plan9 and even see the liveCD
stuff.

Then, to not be locked in the 30-day vmWare, i went to burn that CD and
install in dual boot.

First i burned it with Nero 6. I booted the computer, and it said something
about booting a 2.88MB floppy image. then ended up with the folowing lines
(may be diferent since i haven't wrote down all the text):
Available boot devices: fd0
what device to use: <i wrote fd0>
Must use device!file
what device to use: <i wrote fd0!plan9>
not found (ok, this text was very diferent but the idea was that :)
what device to use: <i wrote fd0!386/9load>
not found


When i first instaled in vmWare, it haven't outputed the "2.88MB floppy"
thingy, and started a menu with 1. install, 2. run from cd...

My first tought was that nero messed up with the image (I recall the
installer, in vmWare, showing me that there were 2 tracks on the CD ROM,
wich was the iso. and nero only wrote one track from that same iso) so i
wasted another media burning the .iso with alchool120%. but i've got the
same results.

Any ideia what i'm doing wrong? or the boot sequence is suposed to behave
like that (detecting vmWare, etc)?


Thanks,
