[9fans] Plan 9 floppy install from local hdd on IBM ThinkPad X30

[Yoshi Rokuko]

Hey folks,

I'm trying to install Plan 9 via external (not usb) floppy drive onto my IBM
ThinkPad X30 [1]. My plan is to boot with the floppy and then install from a
local primary FAT32 partition. This idea is given in the wiki: "If you wish
to install from local media, you need a FAT file system or [...]" [2].

If I boot from the floppy the following is seen:

PBS1...Plan 9 from Bell Labs
ELCR: 0800
apm ax=f000 cx=f000 dx=40 di=ffff ebx=5976 esi=-1
initialprobe, to find plan9.ini...using fd0!dos!plan9.ini
.

Then the Startup Menu with default 1
I typed 1 but the one showed up very slowly?
anyway he is doing then:

pcirouting 8086/248A at pin 1 irq 11
#Y0: Ricoh 476 PCI/Cardbus bridge, 50000000 intl 11
#Y1: Ricoh 476 PCI/Cardbus bridge, 50100000 intl 11
dev A0 port 1F0 config 045A capabilities 2F00 mwdma 0007 udma 203F    LLBA
sectors 78242976
Unkown boot device: sdD0!cdboot!9pccd.gz
Bootdevices: fd0
boot from:

I tried this:

boot from: fd0!9pccd.gz
booting fd0!9pccd.gz
error walking to 9pccd.gz
boot from:

hm what shall I do?
I am thankfull for any hints ...

regards y0shi

I wrote this with slrn into comp.os.plan9 and then I read that it is just
possible to post via mailinglist ...

... now it arrives, but my problems are solved already - so please ignore
this post.
