So have I! T
I've trashed my partition table more than once in the past years
TeskDisk always saved my ass, I just booted a linux live cd,
download the static binary and fixed my partition table...

regarding the occasional missing vid/did's it seems that frequently it
involves adding the did to the right place in the corresponding driver
and recompiling. it would be a nice if there was a way to map new
vid/did's to known driver+did's in plan9.ini.

If I'm not mistaken, you should be able to edit the plan9.ini file on a
PC, to set the source you want to boot from. However, I did that only
once, and I don't remember the details... look up plan9.ini(8)

Thanks for the warnings, and friendly advice :)
I think I'll just use a bare 2nd HDD on the same machine, or a junker
box kicking around.
Do you guys know if Plan9 will boot off a slave HDD?

i've never seen this myself, but i recall this discussi
I'd say, it's not unpredictable, but just the sane way to do it, I mean, a
power outage is sometimes enough to screw something up... or maybe you
accidentally select the wrong partition, b/c the installer you are new to
confuses you in some ways, etc..
I never lost data in my life, and was always

When you boot the live cd you'll have a pretty good idea whether your
system is supported -- if things are OK you'll get to a gui with

want to try it or not even before you get to the hard drive
