[9fans] Installation Problem

[9fans] Installation Problem

[verloc]

I'm a having a small problem with my installation, and I was wondering
if anybody out there could help.

It's a pretty old system (relativly speaking, of course) and that may be
the problem.

P166
16 Megs of ram (this may be the problem, I don't know how much ram is
needed)

The floppy boots ok until I get to the "root is" prompt, at which I hit
enter and then I get the following :

root is from (local)[local!/bzroot]: <enter>
kfs...boot: nop...no physical memory
no physical memory
no physical memory
.....

Yada yada yada.  This goes on forever. (well, until I restart it at
least)

Any ideas?  I'd be happy to provide any information needed.

You need to read the installation instructions at
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sys/doc/install.html

The very first paragraph says you need 32Meg to run the install.
