i put a modified 9load on sources /n/sources/contrib/quanstro/9load
perhaps you would be able to download it and put it in your 9fat
partition with the distribution cd?
if not or doesn't work, send the output of lspci off line.
the main problem is that the distribution cd is not recognizing
your pata/sata devices.

If you try Erik's 9atom ISO, you may have better luck. It'd be nice if the 9load changes he made were already rolled up into the standard ISO, but I guess they haven't made it yet?
Also there's a project to boot plan 9 from plan 9 without 9load, but I've sort of lost track of where that is. I believe it was showing signs of great success though :-)
