Our boot disk doesn't like your floppy drive.
If you have more than one, try disabling the
others in the BIOS.

I also get the same message.

I found that if I re-start the PC several times "sometimes" it will boot but
it is becoming less and less of a success.

I have tried a different Floppy drive (I know they both work fine anyway)
and a different (brand new) floppy.

Still the same problem.

I am trying to install Plan 9 on my old P100. But when I try the boot disk I
get the promt

Boot from:

and then it does nothing, you can type though. Am I doing something wrong or
what do I need to type?
