Plan9 @lemmy.sdf.org gortbrown @lemmy.sdf.org Can't boot into 9front
I installed 9front on an old Dell Inspiron laptop, but I can't seem to get it to boot. I checked, and it looks like the files to allow it to boot are present on the drive, the partition is marked as active, and secure boot is off. I've also tried in both legacy and uefi boot modes. Is there something that might have gone wrong somewhere, or is it most likely related to the hardware I'm trying to run it on? Any help is appreciated, and I'm happy to answer questions :)
Edit: I figured it out. My drive wasn't formatted as MBR, and the installer wasn't asking if I wanted to format it since it wasn't an empty drive, so I formatted it correctly before installing. I also chose cwfs instead of hjfs. These changes made it so I could boot
