Given these choices I would expect you to pick /dev/sdD0/data
Did you enter the path to the disk exactly '/dev/sdD0/data' ?
>From my reading of the code I think you will get this
cannot happen error message if you enter a device which
is not one of those listed.
the devices: /dev/sdC0/9fat /dev/sdC0/data /dev/sdC0/fossil
/dev/sdC0/nvram /dev/sdC0/swap are those you just created on your disk.
/dev/sdD0/cdboot is the bootstrap psudo-floppy on the CDROM that allows
it to be a boot device.
/dev/sdD0/data is the filesystem that conatins the plan9 filesystem
image (assuming you are booting from the bootable iso distribution).
Perhaps you have an old distribution image? I did exactly this
yesterday and it all went faultlessly.
