Unfortunately, I posted an incomplete message. I sincerely apologise for the mistake.
Here's the complete one: I was trying to install Plan9 on my pc using the USB Image. My host machine is windows 11. Here's how I made the usb drive: 1. Downloaded the USB Disk Image from here <http://9p.io/plan9/download.html>. 2. run this from cmd ``` dd if="...\usbdisk" of=\\.\PhysicalDrive3 bs=4M --progress ``` Note. dd is dd for windows from here: chrysocome <http://www.chrysocome.net/dd>. 3. booted into the usb drive in Legacy mode and the loader was running after that I got this error: ``` auth...can't open /dev/sdXX/nvram: 'env/nvroff' file does not exist. ``` Then it prompted something related to `authid`. Here's what my `plan9.ini` looks like: ``` console=0 # new 9load can figure out bootfile bootfile=sdB0!9fat!9pccpuf.gz nobootprompt=local!/dev/sdXX/fossil readparts= nvram=/dev/sdXX/nvram debugboot=1 *nodumpstack=1 *noe820print=1 ``` I tried setting `nvroff=0` and also `nvrlen=512` and then I got the error that `/dev/sdXX` does not exists following the `authid` prompt. What should I do? Thanks! _resun On Sun, 7 Sept 2025 at 23:49, <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello! > > I was trying to install Plan9 on my pc using the USB Image. My host > machine is windows 11.
