    Anyone have any success in getting Plan 9 to boot?

    I have tried booting directly from the CD Image, and from the Floppy Image, but both times, I make it to the bootloader, and it cannot find the filesystem.

    Well, I got closer. From the Plan 9 Install directions:

    IDE/ATAPI drives in Plan 9 are named like sdD0, where the capital letter is C for the primary IDE interface and D for the second. The digit is 0 for the master and 1 for the slave. So if your CD-ROM is the primary slave, use sdC1:

    So I got it to boot into the Installer GUI, but it Paniced:

    panic: corrupt tail magic0
    pool Main block f0b77718
    bla bla bla......
