PBS...Plan 9 from Bell Labs ELCR: 0E00 apm ax=f000 cx=f000 dx=f000 di=ffff ebx=f0fc esi=-1 dev A0 port 1F0 config 045A capabilities 0F00 mwdma 0007 udma 207F dev A0 port 170 config 85C0 capabilities 0F00 mwdma 0007 udma 0407 Boot devices: df0 And it really mean that, the CD is secondary IDE master, but sdD0!cdboot!9pcflop.gz does nothing but prompt 'boot from:' again, same result with sdC0, sdC1 and sdD1. After that i tried with a floppy, and succesfully installed Plan 9 into the box, using the ethernet card (3com 83509C iirc) worked well and i could download the image and all, anyways there seems to be some error when it comes to recognize the CD drive. And just for the record, yesterday i succesfully installed Plan 9 in a HP nx7000 notebook, that time the CD drive worked well, but a lot of weird things happened before i could install it, don't know exactly what caused it, probably that first i installed venti+fossil without enougth space, and then it didn't worked untill i formatted the patition with another fs (reiserfs but well), and then repartition and restarted the installation (this time only fossil). The RTL8139 works, the wifi ipw2100 not. And i run rio at 1280x1024x16 (tried x32 with weird results), with the vesa driver. Regards, Nico
