Hey folks, I'm trying to install Plan 9 via external (not usb) floppy drive onto my IBM ThinkPad X30 [1]. My plan is to boot with the floppy and then install from a local primary FAT32 partition. This idea is given in the wiki: "If you wish to install from local media, you need a FAT file system or [...]" [2].
If I boot from the floppy the following is seen: PBS1...Plan 9 from Bell Labs ELCR: 0800 apm ax=f000 cx=f000 dx=40 di=ffff ebx=5976 esi=-1 initialprobe, to find plan9.ini...using fd0!dos!plan9.ini . Then the Startup Menu with default 1 I typed 1 but the one showed up very slowly? anyway he is doing then: pcirouting 8086/248A at pin 1 irq 11 #Y0: Ricoh 476 PCI/Cardbus bridge, 50000000 intl 11 #Y1: Ricoh 476 PCI/Cardbus bridge, 50100000 intl 11 dev A0 port 1F0 config 045A capabilities 2F00 mwdma 0007 udma 203F LLBA sectors 78242976 Unkown boot device: sdD0!cdboot!9pccd.gz Bootdevices: fd0 boot from: I tried this: boot from: fd0!9pccd.gz booting fd0!9pccd.gz error walking to 9pccd.gz boot from: hm what shall I do?
