A back-arsed compatibility problem, you already had a partition
hd0dos I bet. First-time installers should not have this problem.
A new disk1 with this fixed is available.
You may want to wait until I fix the ATAPI problem before picking
it up unless your need is great, hopefully some time tomorrow.

Is it just me, or has anyone else been unable to get the latest b.com
(from the 14Nov pcdist) to recognize "hd" as a valid boot device? I booted
the first floppy which built c:/plan9, then rebooted. Ran b.com as usual to
continue the floppy install. It silently ignored the bootfile line in
plan9.ini and booted my old kernel off h!0 instead. If I try
"b hd!0!/plan9/9dos", it barfs and tells me the only valid devices are h!0 and
s!0. I got the new pcdist to load by using an old version of b.com.
