I am just working on getting my copy installed also, so this may
be a case of the blind leading the blind, but..
I have succeded in getting my ethernet going by just entering the
correct hardware details in plan9.ini, and updating /lib/ndb/local.
At least I can use telnet and ftpfs.
Ping, strangely, is much more ambitious. I don't recall if
that can be gotten going just from the floppy installation.
I use a SCSI CD-ROM, so can't comment on the ATAPI.
Regards,
