usb/disk: '/bin/usb/disk' does not exist
In addition I cannot boot plan9 atom when there are two usb disks connected to my PC.
boot(8) just reach the point when it promt for root and when I press enter the computer
reboots. Do you know how to solve it?

I've attached image of the result of the command. I hope that soon I will be able to
attach it in plain text format :). I'm afraid that my Ethernet card is not recognised too.
Can you recommend any PCI Ethernet card that is known to be working under Plan 9?
BR,
Szymon
