Don't ask me why it = worked for a while (some minutes) and than crashed with similar = messages.

I suppose I've done it right, but I'm not sure.
A = similar procedure worked on QEMU, but it's by far slower.


If = you managed to get a Plan9 working Microsoft Virtual PC please tell me = the procedure you used, the hd settings, the partitions and how you = configured the mbr...

Thanks a lot!

Hello 9fans!

I've tried to install Plan 9 on a 64 bit = Windows 7 using Virtual PC, since I've read that a related bug was fixed = and noone tried it.
I just announced it worked = like 2 weeks ago.


Actually, after the fourth tentative = (after creating a fossil partition a bit smaller than the fixed size hd) = I got rc starting by logging with the glenda user.

BUT, after = the rio start I got the attached error.
I never = had any problems starting up Plan 9 with rio, heck I never had any = trouble at all. You sure you have everything set up right on your = end?


I'll use QEMU as I read it should = work, but I hope this feedback could help.
