So I disabled the second BIOS drive and began to reinstall via the atom ISO that you provided. About half way through I got the urge to try the official ISO image that I'd downloaded a few days earlier. Low and behold it works like a charm. Plan 9 only sees the first hard drive when booting but once the kernel is loaded both hard drives are visible and available for use. I didn't actually retry the atom ISO but I imagine that this would fix its problem as well. I thought you might be interested to know this. Matt
