Part of the problem will no doubt be that the CDROM is over a USB and seems to be flakey even when installing certain Linux distros. My solution (and the easiest path here) is to just use a virtualization environment on the blades (or other hardware). -eric On Tue, May 19, 2009 at 3:21 PM, Sergey Zhilkin wrote: > Hi ! > > It seems that Plan9 boot loader doesn't support modern hardware from IBM = :( > > May be someone from IBM can help :) > > P.S.: I have some IBM HS21 servers and I wish to use Plan9 on them. > > 2009/5/19 nocturnal >> >> When booting the installcd on my ibm xserve 305 it says; >> Bios call failed: bios loading disabled >> no plan9.ini >> then it gives me a boot from: prompt but it doesn't matter which ide >> interface or device i try, it just brings me back to the prompt. >> FreeBSD is installed on this particular machine right now and it does in >> fact have a floppy so i'm gonna try the floppy too but it would be nice = if >> someone could look into the source and see why it's giving this BIOS err= or. >> Or just point me to the correct source file if it is available online >> somewhere? >> -- >> >> >> Med v=C3=A4nliga h=C3=A4lsningar >> >> Stefan Midjich aka nocturnal >> [SWEHACK] http://swehack.se > > > > -- > =D0=A1 =D0=BD=D0=B0=D0=B8=D0=BB=D1=83=D1=87=D1=88=D0=B8=D0=BC=D0=B8 =D0= =BF=D0=BE=D0=B6=D0=B5=D0=BB=D0=B0=D0=BD=D0=B8=D1=8F=D0=BC=D0=B8 > =D0=96=D0=B8=D0=BB=D0=BA=D0=B8=D0=BD =D0=A1=D0=B5=D1=80=D0=B3=D0=B5=D0=B9 > With best regards > Zhilkin Sergey >
