If you check the floppy, it will be DOS format, with an image such as
9pc, 9pcdisk, 9pccpu. You will require
fd0!9pc.
However, check the contents of plan9.ini on the disk. What does it say
as the bootfile?
If it says something sensible (i.e. something which is on the disk) then
you may have a disk reading problem, yes.
What is the motherboard chipset?

I'm just planning to install Plan9, but when I use the boot/install
disk, all I get is 'boot from:'. From that point the install
instructions indicate to just hit enter, but that doesn't work.
If I try 'boot from: fd0', it complains about requiring 'fd0!file'. So
what is that boot file supposed to be?
The only things I picked were: boot from 1st floppy, linksys etherfast
10/100 (auto/auto), and mouse on com1, other than the defaults. Perhaps
this floppy boot image is bad?
Thanks,
Marco
