I now see the following drives detected when I get to the partdisk step of the install process: sdC0 - ST3160821A p1 0 8 (8 cylinders, 62.75MB) type 253 p2 8 19457 (19449 cylinders, 148.98GB) type 253 sdC1 - ST3160821A p1 0 8 (8 cylinders, 62.75MB) type 253 p2 8 19457 (19449 cylinders, 148.98GB) type 253 What is the difference between 9atom and the Plan 9 ISO I downloaded from the official website? > could you send me (offlist) the output of dmesg after having > booted debian. i don't see any reason your drives shouldn't > be recognized, but i could be missing something. Will do, thanks. Matt
