  The pcdsik file in /sys/src/9/pc does not include scsi disks as bootable
  devices:  such that

  boot boot #S/sdC0/
	il
	local

This is okay -- if you boot from sdC1!9fat!9pcdisk
(say), the kernel mungs the name to come up with
local!#S/sdC1/fs as a boot name.  Or you can use
a bootargs=local!#S/sdC1/fs line in your plan9.ini.

As Jim pointed out, what you're running into is
that 9load(8) doesn't handle SCSI devices, and
this will be fixed in the next update.
