[9fans] I can't boot Plan 9 after install it with 9atom (the system is rebooted)

[pmarin]

I have a problem after installing 9atom in an old HP Optiplex GX110
(i810e/PIII)

When I start the machine the screen only show
   PBS2...Plan 9 from Bell Labs
and after a few second the machine is rebooted.

Can someone tell me what I have to do now?

Some info ( a few Spanglish sorry):

Ok. I have installed Plan9 in an empty hard disk and the bootloader works fine.
have the bootloader got any problems if the Plan9 partition is above
1024 cylinders?

Cheers.

i'm glad you got things working.

clearly the pbs loaded something, but its calculations
could have gone wrong, or it's an intel-related ide
problem.  it's hard to tell without the hardware in hand.
