Subject: [9fans] 9load didn't like SUSE Linux on the disk
Date: Tue, 28 Sep 2004 09:59:24 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <718f7f4791c9d6137515b9f04986e849@coraid.com> (raw)
Seems that 9load doesn't check the partition types before deciding to
doswalk a partition. I installed SUSE Linux on my disk and couldn't
boot from the plan 9 floppy. 9load panic'ed. After I tracked
it down to the doswalk, I fixed my problem by just removing the
partition table from the disk drive. I haven't spent enough time
looking to find where 9load picks the partition that it thinks is a
dos partition. Anyone know where it does this?
