Hello everyone.
I've got an old Pentium machine here, and I'm trying to install Plan 9
on it. It has a hard drive at primary master and a cdrom drive at
secondary master. When I put in the boot cd (downloaded from the Bell
Labs website) and try to boot, I can get as far as a boot prompt saying
boot devices: fd0
boot from:
After that, no dice. I've tried the old reliable
"sdD0!cdboot!9pcflop.gz", but I get an error saying that there is no
cdboot partition on the disk. This same disk loads fine in qemu, so it
is not a burn problem. Could it be that my IDE controller is simply not
supported? Would using the 9grid.de iso image help?
Thanks
John Floren
