I am trying to install Plan9 by booting from the cd. After PBS etc, I
get a prompt boot from: _without_ the default. The choices are sdC3
(my cd rom drive) and fd0 (presumably the boot disk image). Neither
will work as such, the system wants device!file format. Previous
installs only found one boot file and gave a sensible default. What do
I enter?

True enough, but there would still be only one (1)
primary drive, the rest would be slaves. That was
the technical point I was dancing around with the
wording of the previous statement.
The question is not how did you get four primary
drives but how did you get three slaves....

If you had four IDE controllers, they'd be
named sdC, sdD, sdE, and sdF. That's different
from having four drives on the first controller,
which is how you get up to sdC3.

Try
sdC3!cdboot!9pccd.gz
Do you really have four primary IDE drives?
How did you pull that off?
