Hi -
I've cast longing looks at Plan9 from afar for some time. Recently purchased a CD/DVD burner and created a boot/install disc to play with, but am trying to proceed cautiously before installing ...
While searching for info on how to get this to work with the grub bootloader, I found this on a forum:
"As for installing it to a drive with other OSs and/or data. Do so with caution and understanding. Much like BSD and solaris, it messes with the drives partition table CHS/LBA values. Unlike some nux flavors that do this, it seems to affect all partitions, not just its own."
Cd anyone comment on this or, even better, suggest a way to avoid this happening if true? I am thinking of installing onto a Dell PIII laptop with 6 other OSs currently on it. I wanted to put Plan 9 on the final primary partition on the drive and continue to use Grub as a bootloader.
Also the "Installation instructions" on the wiki list four boot methods, none of which seem to apply ... should I simply not run bootsetup, then?
