Hi,

Trying to install plan9 on an ancient 33Mhz 486 with 48Mbytes  - to be my auth
server,
maybe this is just too low spec? However I dont think its my current problem.

On boot from ths Ed4 boot floppy I get:

    PBS...
    panic: floppyinitdev

The motherboard has no IDE/floppy so there is a seperate multiI/O card, I can
try replacing this,
but I thought I would ask first - what confuses me is that I cannot find this
error in the sources.

Any thoughts or is this machine for the trash? (it was freebe :-)

-Steve
