Subject: installing plan9 demo on a PC

Hello.
I took a first crack at installing the plan9 demo on my PC
yesterday.
Schematically:
Boot from Disk 1 OK
Create c:\plan9, etc OK
Create plan9.ini OK (see below)
Remove disk 1 & reboot ???
That is, after I reboot to DOS and give the command
C:>plan9\B
instead of the next stage of the installation process, I get the error
message
"error walking to 9dos"
and it asks me where to "boot from" so I gave it sd!0!/plan9/9dos but
I got the same error message back.
Here is what it says it sees:
scsi devices:
-----------------
scsi0 = dos C: drive
scsi1 = dos D: drive
scsi2 = dos E: <----------- this is where I want to install plan9
scsi3 = dos F:
scsi4 = dos H: (Texel cdrom)
boot devices:
-----------------
fd!1
sd!0
sd!2
sd!3
Here is a directory listing of C:\plan9:
bedlam:[*root*]/C/plan9 # ls -lt --rev
----------------------------------------------------------------

and here is plan9.ini:

scsi0=type=aha1542 port=0x330

Thank you in advance for your kind assistance.
