I've been looking into it a bit more today. It actually seems to be quite stuck.
I get as far as the 'live usb' boot, with glenda, rio, acme etc starting up. The "plan 9 install" screen and its live log are there. While working through the install the only disk appears to be /dev/sdu0. This is ~4GB in size and is the USB stick. The PC HDD does not seem the be listed in /dev; there is however a /dev/sdU0, but this seems to be a duplicate of /dev/sdu0 (based on ls -l showing the exact same size and the PC HDD should be much bigger than 4GB). Took a look at /dev/kmesg and there is only only three lines that look relevant that I've put in at the end of this email. I can attach more of it if required. I attempted running sos/sos but some files appear to be missing. It says it can not find bin/aux/cpuid, bin/aux/dmi, bin/bzip2. The /tmp/sos.mkfs.bz2 file is created, but empty. I suspect it's more likely I've unknowingly missed a step somewhere rather than the bin directory is actually missing files. ----/dev/kmesg output snippet---- #A0: hda; mem fffffe00f7e30000 irq 4 #A0: hda: coded #0, vendor 10ec0662, rev 00100300 #A0: hda: coded #c, vendor 80862806, rev 00100000 Any help appreciated!
