ATAPI CD-ROM should work.  You may have to attach it as the slave device
on the primary IDE controller, so if you just tried it as master on the
secondary controller reconfigure and try again.

Yes, I think I remember something about that too... having to play with
how my atapi cdrom was hooked up before it worked....

In hex I suppose you're right. "Plan A" was the atapi CDROM, no luck, so
time for "Plan B".

Reminds me of that big DX-pedition by longtime contester RG8U to the
Coaxial Islands in 1979... (I worked him on the standing wave).   :-)

Hmmm, any ham radio types on this list??? (If not I suppose I've just
lobbed a lead balloon...)

I looked through but may have missed this. I'll take another look tonight.

> Time for "Plan B" for Plan 9: I'm addressing the CDROM problem by purchase

What happened to Plan A?  Surely that comes between Plan 9 and Plan B, no?

The problem, I think, is that once you set the ip information, you
can't set it again.  Once you tell it your ethernet card is 255.255.255.0
(probably in termrc?) you're doomed..

You might ahve more luck removing all network setup stuff (commenting it out)
from termrc and typing commands yourself between successive reboots.
For what its worth, I think I've done network masks that small.

Hi Russ:

I just wanted to say thanks for your assistance. While I'm still having no
luck with my atapi CDROM drive, I _almost_ have ipconfig working! I tried a
second IDE controller tonight but cannot get it working with my motherboard
:-(

Time for "Plan B" for Plan 9: I'm addressing the CDROM problem by purchase
of a Buslogic 545C and a SCSI CDROM drive, I hope that this will allow me
to finish my installation.

For the ethernet card, I edited /lib/ndb/local and changed the "pc" entry
to the ip address and netmask for my machine. Problem is, even if I set the
netmask manually with

term% ip/ipconfig -m 255.255.255.248 192.75.246.246
                                 ^^^

the OS sees the netmask as a standard class C, i.e. 255.255.255.0.

While I can telnet to the other machines on my LAN, due to the incorrect
netmask I cannot get beyond my LAN, through my router, to anywhere else.

Any way to get the .248 netmask installed?

Kevin
