OK, I have installed plan9 on my second hard disk (primary slave). It is a 3 GB hard disk which I have partitioned into a 2.3 GB first primary partition and a 700 MB second primary partition (This is the one plan9 is installed on). I have not created an install floppy disk, I just installed directly from the boot cd. In the last part of the installation, when it asked me to choose a method to boot plan9, I tried to create a boot floppy. However, that failed with the message to the tune of 'Cannot create on non-floppy something/cdboot.' Where 'something' is a string I cannot remember. My bios is capable of booting from a slave disk, so I am tempted to set the boot method to 'plan9'. However, I am weary that it may write to the MBR of my first hard disk (on which GRUB is installed). I want it to install to the MBR of my second hard disk. Where will it install? Getting back to the installation. Since I had no options, I pressed CTRL+D and quit the installation. I then set my BIOS to boot from my second hard disk (Magically, the plan9 partition was set as the boot partition. I verified this from '# /sbin/fdisk -l /dev/hdb' on linux). So I see the plan9 boot messages and get pleased. Then I get the infamous 'panic exception/interrupt 14'. There is nothing more to be done so I reboot. I cannot try the suggestions of adding "*nousbprobe=1 *noetherprobe=1" to my plan9.ini file as I do not have write access to such a file anywhere. What should I do to get plan 9 working?
