[9fans] Booting error

[9fans] Booting error

[Alexis Paul Musgrave]

I have only managed to boot into my plan9 install once, and i _can't_
remeber what i did to get it working......

When i boot, after logging in, and before rio starts i get:

disk/fdisk diskread 68 at 0.446 i/o error

and it just sits there....

Is this to do with my partition table ? the layout of the
sub-partitions ? should i let the thing wait longer ? or is there
something i have missed ?

Any help is appreciated.

In my limited experience, all these are caused by hard drive probs.
