I am trying to install Plan 9 for the first time on my PC. I
downloaded the boot disk image and created a boot disk. While trying
to boot the system using it, I get the following message:

PBS... Plan 9 from Bell Labs
ELCR: 0E28
apm ax=f000 cx=f000 dx=fdf9 di=0 ebx=7e8c esi=f03e4

and then the system hangs. I then downloaded the cd iso image and
created a bootable CD. While trying to boot from the CD, I get the
same message and the system hangs.

Any idea what is going wrong?

Thanks,
Raj.
