I wanted to try installing Plan 9 on my laptop, so far I have tried using Plop boot manager to run Plan 9 with the USB and seemingly it works enough to open to the installer but then there are errors. :<
I have tried the live CD and USB image from the Bell Labs website, 9legacy, and 9atom. I am using rufus to write to the USB, but I have also tried using unetbootin, usbwriter and imageusb. Although I think it is written to the USB correctly because I can run Plan 9 on a virtual machine from my USB. I have also tried booting from Super Grub2. I tried to download the 9atom.iso with wayback machine because the website is gone, but the file is corrupt and it does not work, also if you know where to find a non-corrupt version of 9atom, that would be amazing. I have tried different BIOS changes, CD burn attempt, um I also wiped the master boot record of my hard drive and that didn't help lol. I am maybe considering using Qemu on the laptop but it would be better to not run it from a virtual machine, because I really want a minimal OS. I don't want to use 9front because Glenda is awesome and I don't really like anime. These are the errors I am getting, I think it maybe is to do with the hard drive, I'm not sure, but I don't particularly want to remove the hard drive, and I have tried with different OS installed like Tinycore and Windows XP, and also with no OS installed, creating new partitions, wiping all the files etc. imgur.com/gallery/error-0KKcHQQ ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T1fafd9e90ec831c5-M8e5c000805a13ad7d312d73a Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
