Subject: [9fans] stall on boot disk
Date: Fri, 18 Jan 2002 10:07:02 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <GTF18.7527$tg4.94286@vixen.cso.uiuc.edu> (raw)

I am excited to use plan 9, having
a few machines I could set it up
on here, and liking sam, rc, es,
wily, 9wm, evilwm, 9term, and the
other plan 9 tools that have been
ported to my platform. I downloaded
the install disk a couple of weeks
ago, and this is how far it gets:

PBS...Plan 9 from Bell Labs
ELCR: 0E00
using fd0!dos!plan9.ini

the floppy stops spinning at that
point, but the in use light stays
on. I have checked the groups
history on google for similar
problems, but no help for something
that hung up this early in the
process. I tried changing my bios
PnP settings on a friend's
suggestion, but that did nothing.
I tried turning debugging on on
the boot disk, but it hangs
before it could give any output.
I tried 'dd'ing the install disk
to the beginning of a partition,
and editing to point to that
partition, but either grub or the
boot program for plan 9 didn't
like that either. Any suggestions?
