Hi there,

I just downloaded plan9.iso and try to install them with VMWare4.0.5
on my pc with WindowsXP Professional. The installation process went on
smoothly. I only has one NTFS partition so I choose boot from plan9.
And I install mbr in my first virtual hard drive. the following are
some choices i made during installation:

sdC0 - VMWare Virtual IDE Hard Drive
sdD0 - NECVMWareVMWare IDE CDR101.00

Disk to partition: sdC0

Install mbr: y
......
choose "boot from plan9"

After restarting vm, plan9 hangs during boot, only show the following:
ELCR: 0E00
apm ax=3Df000 cx=3Df000 dx=3D40 di=3Dffff ebx=3D5a43 esi=3D-1
dev A0 port 1F0 config 427A capabilities 2F00 mwdma 0007 udma 0207
dev A0 port 170 config 85C4 capabilities 0F00 mwdma 0007 udma 0207

If I connect to iso image before restart, I can still start from CD
image.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
