great point.

i don't think there's any problem with running a cdrom
as ide0 device 0.  but iirc, the plan 9 installer is particular
about where the cdrom is installed.  the last time i tried
sdE0 (ide interface) was not an acceptable location.

if someone's itching for a project, the installer could use
a little touch up.
