hi,
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/installation_instructions/index.html
>The installer on the CD assumes that your CD-ROM is on the second IDE
master. If your CD->ROM is elsewhere, you will see the following error:
>Unknown boot device: sdD0!cdboot!9pcflop.gz
>Boot device: fd0
>boot from:
>IDE/ATAPI drives in Plan 9 are named like sdD0, where the capital letter is
C for the primary IDE >interface and D for the second. The digit is 0 for
the master and 1 for the slave. So if your CD->ROM is the primary slave, use
sdC1:
>boot from: sdC1!cdboot!9pcflop.gz
i think this should help. You need to explicitly specify the cdrom
drive you are using
hope it helps!
