Hi list!
I've been trying to install plan9 today, on a qemu vm. Whe= n trying to install from local the installer seems unable to find quite a f= ew files in plan9's src directory. It seems there's some problem wi= th the cdimage. I tried booting from the floppy image, but got stuck at the= point where one needs to enter boot media (it seems I need something of th= e form fd0!file, but I have no idea what file needs to be specified)=C2=A0<= /div>

Also, when trying to install in qemu from net, the inst= aller cannot autoconfigure network from dhcp, and doesn't work on manua= l configuration either (I tried 10.0.2.1 for gateway, 10.0.2.15 for ip and = 255.255.255.0 for netmask, which should be the correct qemu settings). The = boot prompt indicates that the virtual network card has been found, though.= Has anyone tried to do a netinstall of plan9 in qemu?
