I started out with a small installation on a spare partition of a laptop to
get the hang of the system. Later I set up a standalone file server I can
boot a terminal from (usually said laptop.) This can be regarded as the
normal mode of operation. The installation never gave me trouble in either
case.
I repeated the installation of plan 9 on another machine with a
NTFS-partition on a harddisk. I freed diskspace of about 3.9 MB and
installed plan9. I get the same errors as in the case of installation on
a completely empty harddisk. (I described the symptoms in some earlier
mails.) And I also had to run the installation process a second time to
get a bootable installation of Plan9. I again had to type a simple "/"
at the prompt "distribution disk" (instaed of the "/dev/sdD0/data" as
written in the manual. There was a minor difference that the prompt
"copydisk" appeared this time that I had to acknowledge.
Have you tried an installation (not an update!) with the actual
CD-edition ( I think it is the third edition) of plan9?
Sorry for annoyance, but such are the facts.
