Hi ..

I am new to Plan 9 and having problems installing rel 4 under MS virtual 
PC 2004 edition.

To be more correct, it installs fine.  Not a problem.  The GUI comes up 
and everything is good, except for the slow disk access (I figure that 
this is where the problem lies).  After install, I restart the VM and 
login as 'glenda' and with errors:

   diskWriteRaw failed: date=Thu Jan 8 10:37:10 EST 1970
    part=3 addr=98dc: i/o error

(screwy date)

I guess there is something happening at the disk driver level.  I said 
to use DMA and have created a virtual disk for the install.

Any thoughts?
