it should be possible. references in the plan9.ini (which will
still be on the first hard drive or the floppy) will be of the
form 'hd!1' or 'h!1' instead of 'hd!0' or 'h!0'.

at least, that's the theory...

The subject line above pretty much says it all.  The only free disk space
that I have available is at the end of my second IDE drive on my system.
Will I be able to boot to it?  Or can I boot from a floppy which would
point to Plan 9 on my second drive?  If this is possible, what files (or
whatever) would need to be changed and what would those changes be?
BTW, I have a 486/33 DX with 20Mbytes RAM, 2 - 330Mbyte IDE disk drives,
Orchid F1280 VGA and Mitsumi FX-200D CDROM.

TIA!
