You built the pc kernel, but that's the pc terminal kernel
that mounts its root file system over the network.
You need to build one of the bigger kernels that can
boot from local disk. These include copies of either kfs
(pcdisk) or fossil (pcf) in the kernel image so that they
can be used to mount the local disk to provide the root.
To build one of these, cd /sys/src/9/pc; mk 'CONF=pcf'
(or 'CONF=pcdisk'). Sorry for not mentioning that before.
You can figure out which one you're using by ls -l /srv.
If there is a /srv/fscons, you are using fossil. If there
is a /srv/kfs.cmd you are using kfs.
