Subject: [9fans] Boot/install help?

I'm just planning to install Plan9, but when I use the boot/install
disk, all I get is 'boot from:'.  From that point the install
instructions indicate to just hit enter, but that doesn't work.

If I try 'boot from: fd0', it complains about requiring 'fd0!file'.  So
what is that boot file supposed to be?

The only things I picked were: boot from 1st floppy, linksys etherfast
10/100 (auto/auto), and mouse on com1, other than the defaults.  Perhaps
this floppy boot image is bad?

Thanks,
Marco
