[9fans] New User with Problems

[Steve <carrickfergus88@gmail.com>]

I've been scouring the Interwebs and haven't been able to find much of
a solution.

Yesterday I decided to give P9 a try and burned the ISO file available
on Plan 9's installation page here:
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/download/index.html

It was the direct link to the CD image so none of the other choices
that are available below.

After burning the image to CD, I restarted my computer with the
primary booting option as the CD rather than the HD. I received the
following:

   1 FD 2.88 MB System Type (00)
PBS1...
Plan 9 from Bell Labs
ELCR: 0CA0
pcirouting: South bridge 8086, 2812 not found
no plan.ini
cpu0: 1862 MHz P6 loop 105279
apm ax=f000 cx=f000 dx=fdf7 di=0 ebx=801c esi=10041c
Boot devices: fd0
boot from:

I've checked the requirements and my PC seems to be in order there.

I did look around and the only possible problems I could find were
that maybe since I don't have Windows it was trying to look for the
FAT file (I'm strictly an only Linux user) in which case I do not have
VMWare and I'd be curious if there is a non-DOS ISO file that could
run on a Linux only system. The only other explanations that seemed
somewhat logical were that something went wrong in the pcirouting and
I missed something in the PC requirements listed on site or the ISO
file burned to my CD is faulty.

Thoughts?
