[9fans] Install problem: disks not listed

[tlaronde]

Hello (and best wishes to all for 2016!),

I have a new node and I'm trying to install Plan9 on it (it is a
multiboot node, with already NetBSD and Windows).

When booting (from Bell Labs' iso), the disks are found as sdE[12], the
CD driver as sdE0 that are all on SATA.

But when going to partdisk, the disks are not listed and partdisk fails.

"Somewhere" before the call to partdisk, the mount of the disks failed.

Does somebody have a clue as to where to find the culprit or can
somebody give the sequence of commands launched when selecting to
install from the CD so as to be able to find the hiatus?

TIA

Replying to myself: sdiahci is commented out in pcflop, hence the AHCI
SATA are inaccessible from 9pcflop.
