#If you're trying to boot plan9 from lilo and you get the following
#message:
#
#! Loading <imagename>
#! PBS...Bad format or I/O error
#! Press a key to reboot
#
#... then this might help.
#
#Boot from your install floppy. When the system comes up, open a
#shell window by using the right mouse button against the rio
#backdrop. At the command prompt, type the mount line that is listed
#in the "status" window below your install command interpreter
#window. This will mount your hard disk at /n/kfs.
#
#Now, do the following:
#
#! term% cd /n/kfs/386
#! term% /n/kfs/rc/bin/9fat:
#! term% cp /n/9fat/plan9.ini .
#! term% unmount /n/9fat
#! term% disk/format -b ./pbslba -d -r 2 /dev/$DISK/9fat ./9load ./9pcdisk ./plan9.ini
#
#... where $DISK is your system media; mine is sdC0. The mount
#command you gave before should give you a clue.
#
#Reboot.
