Subject: [9fans] install kernel fails to find hard disk
Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2006 10:31:29 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200603161031.aa84704@salmon.maths.tcd.ie> (raw)

I just tried to install plan9 on a machine at work.  At partdisk
it tells me

  The following disk devices were found.

  sdD0 - TEAC DVD+RW DV-W58E D.0C09/14/03

  Disk to partition (sdD0)[sdD0]:

No mention of the hard disk.  Typing sdC0 at the prompt doesn't help.
Neither does turning off DMA.

The relevant hardware, as found by NetBSD, is

  NetBSD 3.0 (GENERIC) #0: Mon Dec 19 01:04:02 UTC 2005

Any ideas?
