Subject: [9fans] Installation Disk1
Date: Wed, 03 Feb 1999 02:24:31 GMT

I've had Plan9 installed in the past, but had to take it off my PC.
Now I've come around to installing it again and it appears my disk1 is
corrupt.  

When the system boots it displays:

found 9DOS . attr 0x0 start 0x81 len 436874
..+312070premature EOF
hd0: 0 cylinders 0 heads 8404830 sectors/track 8305664 bytes
hd1: 0 cylinders 0 heads 8404830 sectors/track 8305664 bytes
Boot devices: fd!0 hd!0
boot from: 

I appreciate that it won't boot from hd!0 because it's not there.  I
would expect it to boot from fd!0 however.  My guess is that the
floopy might be corrupt.

I expect that I'll need to create a new boot disk using rawite or
someting equivalent.


Can someone point me to where I can the diskette images?

Thanks
Keith
