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
