Subject: [9fans] Booting Plan9 after installation
Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2002 16:47:02 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <slrna4610t.rbs.sascha-news-NOSPAM@cube.sascha.silbe.org> (raw)
Hi!
I finally managed to install Plan9 (bought a new VGA card that works with
Plan9). When asked how to boot, I chose "plan9", because there is neither WinNT
nor Win95 installed (only Linux and Hurd) and I want it to boot directly from
harddisk, so floppy was no choice, either.
Now I am having trouble getting it to boot using grub. I assumed that it would
work like a DOS bootloader (and that's how I interpret the 9load manpage) and
tried the following commands within grub:
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
makeactive
chainloader +1
These just lead to the following error message:
PBS...Bad format or I/O error
Press almost any key to reboot...
It seems grub has loaded and started the "disk partition PBS" successfully,
but the PBS has failed to load 9load.
Any suggestions what I am doing wrong?
How do I create a boot floppy without completely reinstalling the system?
