Subject: Problems with #m interface in pcdist

Hardware: SoundBlaster 16 (address base 0x220, irq 5, 16bit dma 5) and
Panasonic CD drive connected to the SB16 (CR-562, address base 0x230,
ID 2).

I'm unable to bind my CD.  When I type

    bind -a '#m' /dev

I get

    bind #m /dev: unknown device in # filename

So the question is: where do I look for what's wrong?  I assume that
either I'm mistaken about the hardware parameters above or I'm not
putting them in plan9.ini correctly.  I doubt the former because Linux
can mount a filesystem and play music from the CD using those
parameters.  As for the latter, this is my plan9.ini:

    mouseport=ps2
    monitor=multisync75
    vgasize=1024x768x8
    audio0=type=sb16 port=0x220 irq=5 dma=5
    cdrom0=type=panasonic port=0x230

Or is there something else I need to do before bind? 

Thanks for you help.
