Sorry, maybe I wasn't cle= ar?
The disc just doesn't boot. I can mount it and look at it but
my mac= hine doesn't find it bootable.  I want to determine
(before bu= rning a new one) whether it's the disc or a hardware
incompatability, so= I ask if anyone has knowledge of this
specific model's (Toshiba Portege 7020ct) compatablity with
Plan9 (f= ourth edition). I burned it on a Debian machine using
cdrecord from the = CLI, as I've done previously with iso
images.

Thanks
ecs
