Don't as= k me why it worked for a while (some minutes) and than crashed with similar= messages.

I suppose I've done it right, but I'm not sure.
A similar pr= ocedure worked on QEMU, but it's by far slower.


If you manag= ed to get a Plan9 working Microsoft Virtual PC please tell me the procedure= you used, the hd settings, the partitions and how you configured the mbr..= .

Thanks a lot!

Hello 9fans!

I've tried to install Plan 9 on a 64 bit Windows 7 using Virtual PC, si= nce I've read that a related bug was fixed and noone tried it.
I just announced it worked like 2 weeks ago.


Actually, after the fourth tentative (after creating a fossil partition a b= it smaller than the fixed size hd) I got rc starting by logging with the gl= enda user.

BUT, after the rio start I got the attached error.
I never had any problems starting up Plan 9 with rio, heck I never had any = trouble at all. You sure you have everything set up right on your end?


I'll use QEMU as I read it should work, but I hope this feedback could = help.
