Subject: [9fans] New to Plan 9
Date: Tue, 21 Dec 2004 22:52:22 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <BAY20-F307E879243B9CC30BE0094DDA30@phx.gbl> (raw)
Hello,
I am totally new to Plan 9, but I decided to try it out, just because I like
to try out new operating systems and the like. I recently used the CD iso to
install Plan 9 (I'm not sure if Plan 9 supports by Ethernet Adapter), and
after a few attempts, I got to the boot installation stage.
After failing to get the installation to create a boot floppy (It tried to
use the cd drive: perhaps it was confused by the floppy image that, if i
recall correctly, is inside every bootable cd-rom), I decided to use the
'plan9' option, which seemed to work until I tried to reboot.
Basically, whether I let Plan 9 install it's bootloader in the MBR, or I
try to chainload (using the Solaris or FreeBSD multi-booters), the booting
fails immedialy, with either the message 'MBR...Error!' if I use the Plan 9
bootloader, or just '...Error!' if I use another bootloader.
Does anyone know what causes this, and how it could be fixed?
James Fox
