OK, teste on some other machines. both CDs booted like vmWare did :(
so, it's my ide controler for sure. Is there any purpose in trying booting with a floppy to see that the next stage in the boot will reconize it?

Yes that seems to be the case since it only gives me floppy. But they're
IDE0:0 and IDE:1:0. that is, each on one cable, but on the same
controler (onboard KX133 chipset)

the board i'm using: http://www.k7v.com/ <http://www.k7v.com/> 

i'm off to test on other machines. Is there any documented way to
install plan9 or inferno using only floppies or something like OpenBSD
ftp install?

Thanks

the loader (9load) can't seem to find both the hard drive and the
CDROM (IDE, right?).  are they on the same cable by any chance?
