Try

	sdC3!cdboot!9pccd.gz

Do you really have four primary IDE drives?
How did you pull that off?

If you had four IDE controllers, they'd be
named sdC, sdD, sdE, and sdF.  That's different
from having four drives on the first controller,
which is how you get up to sdC3.

I am trying to install Plan9 by booting from the cd. After PBS etc, I
get a prompt boot from: _without_ the default. The choices are sdC3
(my cd rom drive) and fd0 (presumably the boot disk image). Neither
will work as such, the system wants device!file format. Previous
installs only found one boot file and gave a sensible default. What do
I enter?
