how does 9load cause that to happen?
the thing that starts venti is a normal kernel, which
should handle 48-bit LBA. does 9load (not knowing
about them) leave the ATA in a state where the kernel
can't use 48-bits either?
i can see that 9load not knowing 48-bit addressing wouldn't
be able to see boot/9fat partitions beyond a certain point,
or perhaps with the right geometry.
