My Linux system tells me the .gz'd floppy image is corrupt. I have
an IBM from circa 1997 I would like to test run Plan 9 on. Any help
would be appreciated!

I would think that a computer from 1997 would be able to boot from
a CD-ROM... can't it?

i also tried booting a plan9 floppy on a old machine and all floppies
complained about no valid dos fs found. even if it mounts on a freebsd
and netbsd os with all the files on.

1997 was a typo. It's from like 94 or earlier. It's an IBM thinkpad
790??.

Thanks for your help.
