Yeah, 'the foreigner always loses' :)  I wasn't sure
if I had it right or boota: was attempting to fix
some other special case.

I'm pretty sure it's a 3c589 replacement :(  aka:

    3CCFE574BT

10/100 Mbit.

Sorry about the boota problem.  You're the only one
who uses it.  I'll try to get that fixed soon.

Not sure about your PCMCIA card.  If it's a relabeled
3Com 589 then you could add an ID string to the driver,
but I suspect this is not the case.

I'm in the middle of doing yet another USB floppy install.

So my plan9.ini has:

    adisk=#S/sdC0/dos
    bootfile=sdC0!dos!9pcflop.gz

When boota: sees that I'm booting off sdC0 it then
sets adisk to:

    /dev/sdC0/data

This is not good.  If I change it to:

    /dev/sdC0/dos

everything works as planned.

This entails:

    kill dossrv | rc
    cd /rc/bin
    chmod 777 boota:
    ed boota:
    10s/data/dos/p
    w
    q
    rc termrc
    rc /usr/glenda/lib/profile

On another issue, is there some magic to get a PCMCIA:

    3Com
    Megahertz 574B
    B
    001

ethernet card to work?

The above is what's reported by aux/pcmcia
