I'm installing Plan 9 on a Thinkpad T23. The "Install from CD" option
works -- I get rio and the install proceeds smoothly -- but on the
next boot the system hangs after the

option of the boot disc. This is from an image downloaded an hour or
so ago, 2006-09-12.
Problem's back.
While the system was running, I uncommented the ip/ipconfig lines in
(/rc)/bin/termrc and my machine was connecting to the network at
school. When I booted the machine not attached to a network, though,
I got the lines:
init: starting /bin/rc
(long pause -- at least 30 seconds)
ndb/dns: can't read my ip address
after which nothing more happens.
Trouble is, the system now hangs (without displaying the ndb/dns
message) even when connected to the network (and after displying the
ndb/dns message if I re-disconnect). I can't even get into the system
far enough to breadcrumb /bin/termrc and /usr/chesky/lib/profile .
