I just tried that. While the 9load from the boot floppy differed from the
9load on the install floppy, using the one from the install floppy didn't
seem to have any effect. I also tried using the install floppy's 9load
on the actual HD partition, still no go.

Also, I read somewhere in the wiki that you can get debug info from
9load with 
CTRL-R? I tried that, and then the machine just rebooted at once,
instead of
waiting for me to press a button.

I'm not sure what's wrong with the 9load that you are
trying to boot with.  Since the 9load from the install
floppy worked, one option is to copy the file "9load"
from the install floppy to the boot floppy and then
try the boot floppy again.

[9fans] Plan 9 boot problems (exception/interrupt 14)

[david]

I have installed plan 9 on my machine (an ABit VP6 motherboard, some
form of VIA chipset, dual pentium3-based) successfully. However, it
refuses to boot.

After installation, when I try to boot the installed system (using
GRUB to chainload the partition), I get the following output:

Press almost any key to reset..

If I create a boot floppy in the install and try to boot using that, I
get the exact same error, except in the third line, esi=-6c2dfc1c.

I just find this strange, because the install worked without a hitch.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
