Subject: [9fans] partdisk fails in install
Topicbox-Message-UUID: e9151158-ead5-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025


I'm having trouble installing on a clean disk with the latest iso (2010/3/12).

I first removed all the partition info (using fdisk on a gparted liveCD) so
that the disk was clear.  I then booted Plan9, and when it asked to install a
MBR, it returned an error that disk/fdisk failed.  This then caused parted to
restart in a loop...  Unfortunately it did not give me much additional info.

I'm hoping to get Plan9 and Inferno installed native and VM on all my
development machines so I can test both versions in various configurations.
Unfortunately, it does not look like Plan9 will install native on any of my 3
machines so far.  One more to try...
