[9fans] Installation Problems

[rob pascual <eternal_failure@lycos.com>]

Hello.  Recently I found a link to plan-9 and after reading about it for 
awhile, decided it sounded powerful and worthwhile to experiment with. 
Unfortunately, I seem to be getting strange error messages during 
installation.  Before it starts decompressing the filesystem, it leaves 
a huge string of: "Inil20+Inil20+Inil20+... repeatedly, for a few 
screens.  after it loaded rio, it all looked good, but after I type in 
pickdisk, a huge string of Inil20/59+Inil20/59... came up in the middle 
of the screen in a different font at the top of the screen.  I managed 
to select the disk, but when asked about the mbr, it printed more of the 
message covering the entire screen, and I am unable to read whats going 
on.  Does anyone know what these messages mean?  My system is a Duron 
800 on an Asus A7V, 256 megs of ram.  I tested a few video cards and all 
had thet strange messages, but the only one to get into Rio was a 
Diamond Stealth 64 2001.  I also have a Netgear FA310TX and SoundBlater 
AudioPCI which I tried disabling but the errors still came up.  Has 
anyone had the same problems, or know how to remedy this?  thanks
