  I'm having trouble installing Plan9 on my x86.  Keep in
mind that I've switched out both the installation CD as well as the target
hard drive, and the problem remains the same.

  When the installation program is unpacking the file system to disk, it
gets around 99% done and gives me this error: "write /n/kfs/386/bin si: copy
error; copy ran out of input".

  It continues on, and when i get to the prompt to create a boot floppy,
right before that choice it prints:

  "addint file /386/9load length 14560 cp: can't stat /n/kfs/386/9pcdisk:
file does not exist"

  Then i create the boot disk and when I boot from it, it says "operating
system not found".  Super duper.  Anyone know what's going on?

        thanks
