Subject: [9fans] diskWriteRaw failure when booting MP

I have a dual processor Supermicro P3TDE6 mobo with 2 1 GHz P III. I had an install from
a downloaded cd working, and I did a replica/pull, made a kernel and rebooted successfully.
The problem occurs when, in an attempt to get both processors working, I remove *nomp=1
from plan9.ini. Under those circumstances, boot hangs after login at the '/bin/rc' notice.
After about 5 minutes, I get:

	diskWriteRaw failed: date -- (I didn't record the date format)
	part=3 addr=0: i/o error

Here's my plan9.ini.

bootfile=sd00!9fat!9pcf
bootargs=local!#S/sd00/fossil
bootdisk=local!#S/sd00/fossil

partition=new

*nomp=1

mouseport=ps2
monitor=multisync110
vgasize=1280x1024x16


I was able to recover by booting from cd and putting '*nomp=1' back in.

Any clues greatly appreciated.
