[9fans] Parallels v 3 and Plan 9, anyone tried yet?

2007-06-08 Thread David Leimbach
I might figure out how to do this next week if no one else has tried, and update my wiki doc appropriately. Unless someone else has done so already. I'm on vacation and probably won't be anywhere near a decent link to do it. Nor do I yet have the latest Parallels to try it on. Dave

further to lucho's comments, he and i just confirmed that a converted v2 image works fine in v3 (except a crash during reboot which used to happen with v2 too). i'll try a fresh install now and let you know how it goes.

definitive guide to installing plan9 on parallels v3, compile 4124: note: if you've done this before you need not bother reading the rest, just make sure you say no when asked whether you want DMA enabled for your disks. if you say yes then after boot you'll get the following error message:
