Hello, folks.
The good news is that as of this afternoon I finally got the three 
disk version of Plan 9 running on my system.
   The bad news is that ten minutes later the UPS guy came with the 
CD-ROM version of Plan 9. 
   I have a Mitsumi FX-400 IDE CD-ROM drive. It's attached to the 
secondary controller of an NS87410 dual-IDE controller and configured 
at 0170h and IRQ 15.
   My problem is, while attempting the CD-ROM installation, I get the 
message "ATAPI disk not found". Clearly, the Plan 9 installer isn't 
finding my drive. It's there, honest.
   Anyone have any suggestions? Like I said earlier, I've got the 
diskette version up and running, so I can tinker with configurations, 
etc.
   Thanks in advance,
   Luther Huffman, Jr.
