It has a NE2000 card. At the downloading stage, nothing happens, except that it emits an arp for itself. Looking at the errata I find "nodummyrr" suggested, but that makes no difference. Watching the boot messages more closely, I see that plan9 gets the irq wrong and assumes irq 9 instead of 3. After adding "irq=3" in plan9.ini I get i8259enable: irq 3 shared but not level intrenable: couldn't enable irq 3, tbdf 0xffffffff for ether0 Looking in dejanews whether somebody has told how to circumvent this problem, I only find the same question by Doug Gwyn: : Unfortunately I'm getting a similar conflict with IRQ 3, which : in my system is assigned for exclusive use of the 3C509B. : I assume this is because the installation/resulting Plan 9 systems : are assuming the existence of 2 serial ports; how do I disable the : second one (in PLAN9.INI presumably)? But no answer to this question was given. Is it possible to install Plan 9 on such a system (using ether0)?
