[9fans] can't install plan9 on scsi only machine

[Thomas]

Using the method prescribed for scsi-only machines the first (copied) disk
was installed in a plan9 directory.
After rebooting, I executed 'b' in the plan9 directory. The scsi disk
parameters were given but the 'Boot devices:' list was empty.
I provided 'sd!0!/plan9/9dos' in response to 'boot from:' and got 'boot from:'.

I suppose something didn't get written by the first disk.

Any thoughts much appreciated.

Is your SCSI card operating on the
default port?  If you want to boot from a kernel
residing on your SCSI disk and your controller is
not on the default port, you'll need to either boot
a kernel on a floppy or change b.com.

I think the copy of b.com on plan9.bell-labs.com
in /plan9/update/boot/pc/b.com accepts an option
"-scsi0=0xport" to set it to something other
than the default.

The scsi port and irq are the default values. Please see attached  plan9.in_.
The scsi card works  as a cdrom interface on another, ide, machine using the
same port and irq.
