great point. i don't think there's any problem with running a cdrom as ide0 device 0. but iirc, the plan 9 installer is particular about where the cdrom is installed. the last time i tried sdE0 (ide interface) was not an acceptable location. if someone's itching for a project, the installer could use a little touch up. - erik
