I got this too and chalked it up to an inadequate amt of memory. ??

My boot disk fails to boot like this:
root is from (local)[local!#f0/fd0disk]:
kfs..boot: nop...
after that it stops. it still responds to keypresses at this point,
but refuses to boot any further.
Any thoughts?

Thats what I was thinking to at first, so i messed around with the
kernelpercent=
line in my bootsdisks plan9.ini. This is roughly what I found:
kernelpercent= < 70 would cause the stall like i mentioned before
kernelpercent= > 80 would cause the "no physical memory" message to appear
Im not sure if all that is really relevent though since I tried the disk
on this same machine
with only 8M of ram, and got the same errors at the same place, with 20M
now, I would
presume that it should at least boot a bit further before dieing like
that.
On a related note, is there a doc around on what kinda stuff can be put
into that
plan9.ini file? or, more specificly, is there a way to enable some hard
disk swap space
at boot? (if this is a memory issue, that should get me over that last
12M hurdle)
thanks,
brent

you could try typing
control-t control-t p
and
control-t control-t x
to see if they reveal anything interesting.
