9load doesnt detect your storage devices. you could try plan9front cd
(http://r-36.net/9front/) wich uses a different bootloader wich uses
bios to access storage devices (so it doesnt need a custom driver)
wich will probably gets a kernel loaded.

if the kernel also doesnt detect the ide/sata controller, type !rc at
the bootargs prompt to get into a pre boot shell, then run:

grep -n '^01' '#$/pci/'*ctl

often, its just a matter of adding pci vid/did to the ide/sata driver
to get it running.
