well, I wish I could say the same thing about my setup..I just booted
off the CD and told it to install on the 6GB Maxtor (onboard controller)
and I got a panic
this is what it says on the screen:
...
found partition sdC0!cdboot; 47475+1440
Plan 9 Startup Menu:
pick 1 = Install Plan 9 from this CD
Unknown boot device: sdD0!cdboot!9pcflop.gz
Boot devices: fd0
boot from: sdC0!cdboot!9pccd.gz
found 9pccd.gz
Plan 9
cpu: 996 MHz GenuineIntel PentiumIII/Xeon (cpuid: AX 0x0686 DX 0x383fBFF)
ELCR: 0800
#l0: i82557: 100Mbps port 0x5880 irq 11: 0002A521B754A
...
boot: can't connect to file server: '/boot/bzroot' does not exist
panic: boot process died: unknown
dumpstack disabled
cpu0: exiting
and then it hangs
probably something simple I am missing here, at least I hope so..

I downloaded the vesa-enabled iso image, and it works well everywhere I have
tested it, being various desktop machines and my dell laptop with nvidia
card. Of course, I can only have a configuration of 1024x768x16 max (My
laptop card allows 1600x1200x32 max). I can use and install plan 9 from the
vesa iso with no video problems, but I would like to know if the iso is and
will be mantained in sync with the latest plan 9 changes so that I know I
could download it in the future and use an up to date system. I have a very
slow internet conection, I can only download the iso from time to time. Are
there plans to insert the vesa driver in the official iso? Or better, plans
to get a basic nvidia driver in the future? In the former case, I am using
it with no problems, so if it is in experimental state, it is very stable
already.
Thanks.
