Message-ID: <4d6cd976307f125d7aad5d9e8106ff59@collyer.net> (raw)
It's in the boot code:
: alpha; pwd
/sys/src/boot/pc
: alpha; grep -n floppyinitdev *.c
bcom.c:13: floppyinit, floppyinitdev,
devfloppy.c:204: floppyinitdev(int i, char *name)
devfloppy.c:207: panic("floppyinitdev");
load.c:13: floppyinit, floppyinitdev,
Here's the relevant function:
void
floppyinitdev(int i, char *name)
{
if(i >= fl.ndrive)
panic("floppyinitdev");
sprint(name, "fd%d", i);
}
It's apparently trying to initialise a floppy that the boot code
believes you don't have. I'd guess that the BIOS isn't aware of your
add-on floppy controller. See what your BIOS Setup screen thinks you
have. Is the add-on floppy controller at the standard address?
