Exactly what issue I am having is unknown to me. Does anyone know any
place I can ask?
PS - I originally wanted to install Plan 9 on my iMac but after that
didn't help (it froze at ELCR : 0C00 - not 0000) I wound up going to
my basement computer, a Dell Dimension 2400 with Edubuntu (a Linux
distro for educational purposes) and successfully installed and
initialized Plan 9 from Bell Labs. But the Broadcom chip thing and
having to go upstairs/downstairs is not my idea of a fun day
experimenting :-)
PSS - The Intel chips are 64-bit ready, otherwise they wouldn't run
OS X Leopard! :-)
