hi...new member here

need help troubleshooting, please...

there were no errors at all during installation; at finish, the file system
was halted, a prompt to remove install disk and turn off computer.  at that
point i closed the virtual machine window (running on QtEmu from within
virtualbox (ubuntu guest) on XP host...if that makes any difference)

message excepts during halted boot sequence, post install reboot:

found 9pcf
premature EOF
Boot devices: fd0 sdC0!9fat
boot from:
(first I hit [enter] and the prompt was simply repeated)
(then I entered [sdC0!9fat]
syntax is sdC0!partition!file
(then I entered [sdC0!9fat!plan9.ini])
found plan9.ini
.bad kernel format
boot from:

somehow 9pcf was truncated.  perhaps you're out of room
in 9fat?  you can boot the install cd, mount your 9fat
and check.

you can't boot plan9.ini.  that's a config file.
you want	sdC0!9fat!9pcf
or perhaps similar.
