Try commenting out the Richard> ether0=type==elnk3 line. After much fiddling about and suggestions from a number of people, I'm now in a position where I've managed to boot an install floppy on the T21, but only by disabling usb and ethernet. I've partitioned the disk and got to the point where I need to access the network, since without the network I can't access the install image. The machine has no FAT partition. Below is the plan9.ini that I'm using. *nomp=1 distname=plan9 partition=new nobootprompt=local!/bzroot #console=0 *noetherprobe=1 *nousbprobe=1 #pccard0=disabled #ether0=type=589E media=10BaseT monitor=xga vgasize=1024x768x8 mouseport=ps2 bootfile=fd0!dos!9pcflop.gz installurl=http://10.0.0.1/ Any further suggestions on how to get any further along on the Thinkpad?
