Message-ID: <19980419185701.yee5CSRLyRlOdWznrb9o0f0qi3epHK9hec9FpgOyqQ0@z> (raw)
The ATAPI CD-ROM should appear on the '#H' device along with any ATA drives:
% ls '#H'
#H/atapi2disk
#H/atapi3disk
#H/hd0disk
#H/hd0dos
#H/hd0nvram
#H/hd0partition
%
The naming is weird and i'm not convinced it was a good choice, sorry.
If the device is not on the primary ATA controller then a suitable line in
plan9.ini is required, e.g.
ata1=irq=15
The 4 possible ATA controllers are at fixed addresses
Ata0 = 0x1F0,
Ata1 = 0x170,
Ata2 = 0x1E8,
Ata3 = 0x168,
so there's no need to add a 'port=' option. Ata0 is always probed and
doesn't require a plan9.ini line. The 4-disc install should have detected
the CD-ROM and added to plan9.ini if necessary.
