iirc, 9boot doesn't use floppy emulation, but
it might then need cdfs.  i haven't tried this,
so someone who has should speak up.  :-)

It does not have a floppy. You do not need cdfs for loading.
The mbr is in the first sector like in a hard disk and it is anotated
where the 9load is
when creating the filesystem.

There is a 9fat file in the iso called bootdisk.img in the root
directory. The loader knows enough to get to it,
and then gets the kernel.

I tried this a while back before my eee 701, uh, got mostly dismantled.  I
had to edit a file for the southbridge, if i recall correctly, to be
detected.   looks like maybe you got past that too?   the network chipset
is atl2, no driver for it, btw...  i'd be interested to hear more about
this even though mine now lacks a screen.

After power off power on i got
trying sdD0... dosinit: can't open #S/sdD0/9fat
dosinit #S/sdD0/9fat failed
Boot from:
i found the file bootdisk.img as Gorka said. But what would be the answer for the question above: Boot from... to get the instalation procedure go on using the bootdisk.img?
