[9fans] 9atom Boot Error

Hello 9fans,

Tried installing 9atom on a dual core Pentium that worked with 9front, and
got this error in the screenshot after I had installed. Any clues on where
I'd gone wrong would be great!

Many thanks!

Quick question Erik - is it ok to just "dd" that uncompressed file to a
flash stick on my Macbook?

Many thanks!

thing to test.  except with plan 9.

Erik,

I've written the uncompressed file to a flash stick, and tried booting my
dual core Pentium - no dice. Won't even recognise theres a flash stick
plugged in with a disk image written to it. Likewise, my Mac said it wasn't
able to read the flash stick once I had done the "dd" command.

Is there an .ISO for that disk image you linked me to?

Many thanks!

Shane.

that's unfortunate.  did you check that the usb device is in the bios
boot order?

if that doesn't work, here are two cd images.  the first one has the
best chance of working, but it locks up on some hardware.  it treats
the cd as a disk image, so we can pack a few more things in than
we could emulating a 1.44mb floppy.

No, I'd gone through the install process for the second image, and I still
got the "No bootfile" error even though I had reinstalled using the updated
image. Sorry for not being clear enough.

a number of bioses have an f10 boot override option.  it may be
that your machine simply isn't trying to boot cd/usb.

Erik, I tried the second image in the list you gave me, same error - "No
bootfile."

I think I might try wiping the disk completely with a Linux installer, then
try the first image.

I'm not sure what you mean by new disks.
