I'm using a cd image from 30th June.
I don't know if these are the right files, but:

The contents of

/sys/lib/dist/pc/plan9.ini.cd

and

/sys/lib/dist/pc/plan9.ini

both have the argument *nomp=1. Seems to be standard.

Is there a possibility to boot from a usb drive? If so, how?
I lack the floppy drive to make a customized boot.

In the case I don't have that possibility, how do I change the cd
image to alter plan9.ini contents and make it bootable again?

i'm not sure you can blame the ide/sata controller for this problem.
you're failing before cpuidprint() in main.c so interrupts haven't even
been enabled.  you might try *nomp=1 in your plan9.ini file.
