That didn't work. I verified both disks the long way, and they both check out. I copied the files from the installation floppy to both HDs, booted from the installation floppy, and when prompted to select my boot device, tried booting from both drives (fdC0!dos!plan9.gz, fdC0!dos!plan9.ini, etc.). Still no go. Any other ideas? The system in question is a '486 AMD with 48MB RAM, a 350MB HD, a 160MB HD (contains Plan 9 installation files, will be removed after installation), NE 2000 NIC, SB16 Value, some kind of I/O card, and a Cirrus Logic VESA Video card (the exact model escapes me).
