most likely, you're running into the fact that the distribution
wants the cd to be in sdD0 and no place else. i have added
the ability to load from any drive to 9load. this is done by
setting $bootdev and $bootpath and by allowing boot parameters
to be used as variables. 9load knows $bootdev. that's where
plan9.ini is. then plan9.ini can say
[install]
nobootprompt=local!/boot/bzroot
bootfile=$bootdev!cdboot!9pcflop.gz
*nobiosload=1
and you can boot from any device.
many thanks to rsc for suggesting a much better
syntax.
