Hallo,
I've been trying to boot/install from CD. The default is IDE slave
(sdC1) but it doesn't go any further!
I've put it in manually but it doesn't take it.. in fact it acts as
if it's in some kind of limbo state.
[back space will letter-by-letter kill the prompt ..odd letters
pop-up with the arrow keys ]
my screen looks like this...

boot from:

I looked at my boot disk and there is a file "bootdisk.img" amon
others but no 9plan.ini gz etc....
Anything obvious? I guess I could do this via the floppy? My problem
is (laptop) I can have a CD or a floppy but not both. I've left 7GB
undefined and a free primary. I have linux on this box already..
I can use LILO to reference the partition to boot (dual boot) right?
Any insight is appreciated!

Hallo,
I think I found this in install "errata"
OK
Open issues:
9load wont detect your IDE CD-ROM reader device if it's not set as
Primary or Secondary Master. Workaround: set your cd-rom as Secondary Master.
Sorry to be a bother.. . I guess primary/secondary master ..you can
set with external jumpers.. my CD is
hot/swap in a Laptop... mmmhhh
Thanks
