[9fans] plan9 on dell optiplex gx400

[Philip Hood]

hi ...
I am trying to install plan9 on a dell optiplex gx400
that has the following hardware config:



NVIDIATM   Pro 16MB 4XAGP Card or 16MB 4XAGP
ATI Rage Ultra 128 (Single VGA port)

Dell 2-button PS/2 mouse

Integrated 10/100MB 3Com EtherLinkTM  with Remote Wake-up support

sound blaster

& heres the url from the dell site:

http://www.dell.com/us/en/bsd/products/model_optix_3_optix_gx400.htm

I've tried a few things, but it seems that the kernel isn't
loading, so I don't know even if its got to the point of dealing
with the video card.

I tried with ld.com and when it reads 9pcflop.gz it says that
end of the file is bad.

have you tried a different floppy disk?
it could be that your disk is bad.

assuming you downloaded in the last two
weeks, the md5sum should be:
