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! sameer On 12/21/07, codewarrior85 <pcrkishan@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi All, > > Am new to Plan 9.
