I have a dual floppy drive, and I had been noticing that once the initial line or so of the boot disk dialog came up, the floppy seek would switch to the second, 5.25, drive. It would invariably fail and demand to know where it's files were. Unfortunately, my solution required that I disable the second drive in the bios. Not a huge loss, I admit, and it did work. So to sum it up, if you have two floppy drives, try disabling it in the bios. Perhaps this problem will be solved later, but getting Plan9 to boot at all is a relief at this point. I'm looking forward to getting this up and running. It looks awesome! - Maura sandalfoot.org
