I'm having trouble installing from a CD. I'm stuck at the 'Distribution
disk [no default]' prompt during the mountdist step. The following storage
media were detected:
/dev/sdC0/9fat
/dev/sdC0/data
/dev/sdC0/fossil
/dev/sdC0/nvram
/dev/sdC0/swap
/dev/sdD0/cdboot
/dev/sdD0/data
Entering any of these at the prompt results in the message 'Unknown disk
type (cannot happen)'. This message originates from the mountdist script
but does not make sense to me. At this point the installer sometimes lets
me have another go at the prompt but often just hangs. I first tried
/dev/sdD0/data as it seems appropriate but none of the above storage media
work. I can run successfully run Plan 9 off the CD.
Any ideas?
