FWIW, there is the solution to bootstrap the install with another mean on a floppy.
For example, using GRUB with serial line to load a plan9 install kernel (not tested). Or to use etherboot (gPXE) on a floppy to load a PXE version. Just to say that the remove of the floppy mean doesn't render plan9 uninstallable on a floppy only machine, but impose an external mean to load/bootstrap. -- Thierry Laronde (Alceste) <tlaronde +AT+ polynum +dot+ com> http://www.kergis.com/ Key fingerprint = 0FF7 E906 FBAF FE95 FD89 250D 52B1 AE95 6006 F40C
