I reported a problem with installation of plan9 using the
physical cdrom under vmware-4.0 workstation. I was suggested
that I connect cdrom to plan9.iso file.

Now it does not boot at all, it gets stuck at boot from:
prompt.

Is one supposed to boot using a floppy image and cdrom connected to
plan9.iso file?
