Subject: [9fans] Bootsetup will not create floppy
Topicbox-Message-UUID: 133e23e6-ead3-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025

Hi, 

I have successfully (?) installed plan 9 from the Live/installation CD . 
However Bootsetup will not create a boot floppy. 
Afer inserting  a floppy in the drive and pressing 'enter' I get the following error message:

ls /dev/sd0/cdboot '/dev/sdD0' file does not exist
will not format non-floppy disk /dev/sdD0/cdboot

My CD drive is sdC1 (primary slave) . So I guess that Bootsetup is unable to find the source file it needs to create the floppy . 
Is this assessment of the problem correct? 
If so,
How do I let Bootsetup know where my CD drive is? 

Or if that is not possible, is there a way to create a boot floppy from the Live CD?
Or some other source for a boot floppy?

Thanks,

Regards,

Alasdair
