Ok, first note that I didn't have any luck with QEMU, I had to install on an actual 486. I booted the FreeDOS disk and created a small partition (something like 50 MB) on the hard disk, leaving the rest unpartitioned. Then I installed FreeDOS to the small partition and started the Plan 9 installation. John -- "Object-oriented design is the roman numerals of computing" -- Rob Pike
