Hi,
I found that using 9load from a CD had problems selecting a
bootfile in a disk partion. I seems that the sd driver was not being
initialized in the first loop and then probe couldnt find any partition.
This change was enough to allow me to boot from a CD and use
a kernel in the hard disk.
The changes are all inside main()
