I've been trying to install Plan 9 on a previously-untried system.
When I put in the install disc and try to boot, I only see "PBSR...EI"
and then nothing else. I've seen this with the Bell Labs CD and both
9legacy images. I have an old 9atom disc that gets farther, booting
into the actual kernel and getting as far as printing out how much
memory is available and where it is allocated. I have not tried a more
recent 9atom disc yet because it takes too long to download.

Has anyone else run into this? Is it something to do with the new
bootloaders? I've seen it on several other motherboards lately and
don't remember ever seeing it when I last installed from CD (about 2
years ago).


John
