I tried swapping the cables and made hard disk primary master and the
cdrom secondary master. Then booting using Plan 9 CD, gives the
message:

PBS... Plan 9 from Bell Labs
ELCR: 0E28
apm ax=f000 cx=f000 dx=fdf9 di=0 ebx=7e8c esi=f03e4

and attempts to read the floppy drive and hangs with the floppy read
light on.. I don't have any disk in the floppy drive. Same thing
happens when I try to boot using the floppy disk.
