Subject: [9fans] CF boot failure
Date: Wed,  4 Oct 2006 21:05:01 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <a0513bc5bd3a140e993a13e23527b693@quanstro.net> (raw)

i installed plan 9 onto a CF card from the cd.  it boots just fine on
an nforce430 machine, but prints this

MBR...I/O Error
Press almost any key to reboot...

on a pIII 440gx machine. booting from the floppy, the CF is detected and
the partition table looks good and 9fat can be mounted and contains the 
usual suspects.  does anyone know what's going on here?  this same machine
boots just fine from a regular hard drive.
