Hello :) Let me report that I finaly succeeded!
Unfortunately, I do not know what was wrong. If somebody is interested into researching the reasons, please let me know. Otherwise I just enjoy exploring plan9 system. Here is somewhat more detailed description of what I have done: I have deleted linux swap and converted it into dos partition. Than I left some free space and than I left 2 primary linux partitions. ------ Orig: primary 1: linux swap (1GB) primary 2: dos (1GB) primary 3: linux (/boot 100MB) primary 4: linux (/ cca 18GB) booted into linux and using fdisk I have changed partitioning into: primary 1: dos (1GB) free (1GB) primary 3: linux (/boot 100MB) primary 4: linux (/ cca 18GB) Rebooted and started installation from usb-cdrom. However, still I got some errors during partitioning in plan9. But I could overcome them. I choose to load plan9 form MBR. Finaly I had system installed. Well, reboot... At this point, the system failed during booting. Eg. it refused to boot. So I inserted _linux_ boot disk, booted into linux, mounted my linux partition, chrooted into it and rerun grub-install (to be able to boot at least into linux). That went fine. Reboot. Ok, grub works and I can boot without troubles to my linux sytem. Now I turn back primary 1 partition into swap. (using $>mkswap /dev/hda1) Now I want to check, wheather I am able to boot into plan9 using usb-cdrom. So I put cd into usb-cdrom and reboot. The system boots into plan9 without any questioning. Cool. At this moment, I returned to my work pc and read more emails from 9fans. Although I checked when I was in linux - and /dev/hda2 _was_ set as active - now following [EMAIL PROTECTED] instructions, I rebooted into linux (remove cd from usb-cdrom and use %fshalt 1). Inside linux (with fdisk), I removed active flag from /dev/hda2 and set it *again* in a wild hope, that this seemigly nonsense action can change something. Write partition table and reboot. In grub command schell, I tried grub> rootnoverify (hd0,1) grub> chainloader +1 grob> boot And voila! here I am in the plan9 system. No usb-cdrom needed. Great! :) Best regards Michal
