I read in the plan9 google groups archive that plan9-20120703.iso was
known to work with vbox... I thought at the time I had the right version of
vbox, but the minor version number may have been different. I also wasn't
aware that qemu could work with out the support from the proc. Is that
I have VirtualBox 4.2.6_OSE r82870. I assume the OSE is OpenSuSE Edition.
I think I can get some help installing an older version(4.1.24) on the
OpenSuse forums.
Thanks all.

After installing plan9 I managed to delete the plan9.ini file. I also made
a mistake while installing, I chose to let plan9 have all the free space
remaining - about 25Gig.
This machine has winxp on the first partition and I'd like to install grub2
as a boot loader to choose between winxp,
Ok, I am The Official Village Idiot, but I always assumed that if you
wanted a piece of software you could write it yourself? Or at least learn
how to contribute to writing it? Or maybe find several tools to pipe

My vote would be for the scroll wheel. I don't like to reach for the
mouse if I don't have to, but when you're already using the mouse the
scroll wheel is extremely handy. Also, just because the mouse has a
scroll wheel it doesn't mean you have to use it. And of course the

I'm a glutton for pain. First, it wasn't the plan9.iso, but the
9athom.iso. I think the original problem occured by
exiting(Ctrl+Alt+Del) before the install was done. I guess I should
have used Ctrl-d to stop the process I was in. Anyway, after exiting
the install program and rebooting I
tlaronde - Thank you for the abstract you sent. It sent me to the
manual pages, which is almost always a good thing. In the prep(8)
online manual page, I found the following listed as a bug:
If prep –p doesn't find a Plan 9 partition table, it will emit
commands to delete all extant partitions.
When I tried booting 9front, it didn't give me any options until it
got to the bootargs line, where it froze.
I'll get back to 9front later. I am interested, but my system is
completly borked right now.
When I had tried the vanilla plan9.iso, I was trying the boot from
cd option, and it was

This is my guess only...

K3b actually said 721.7 GB. As in Gigabytes.
So, I've downloaded, burned, and tried to install the following iso images:
9front-2688.28a9914426a3.iso (I used Brasero to burn the cd, no size complaints)
+9atom.iso
9atom.iso
9atom.nboot.iso
plan9.iso
None actually booted, but some got farther
I did that, nothing. I thought I might need to enter something, so I
browsed the plan9 install instructions, then tried to enter something
but no characters echoed.

I would recommend either a virtual machine like Bakul says or, if possible
change the CD drive. You could try also booting from USB, I don't know
if there are any usb images laying around...
I'm starting to think maybe the dvd drive is buggy.
I'll probably swap the cd
