Any advice? if possible, try to select ahci mode rather than ide mode in bios. there are some known issues that i've fixed, but i'm not sure the fixes have made the rounds. - erik From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Jan To: "9fans@9fans.net" <9fans@9fans.net> Date: Sun, 20 Apr 2014 18:11:15 +0000 Message-ID: References: , In-Reply-To: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable MIME-Version: 1.0 Subject: [9fans] FW: bootsetup failure on 9legacy Topicbox-Message-UUID: da3f2efe-ead8-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025 It was in AHCI mode already so I've put the HDD into 'Compatibility Mode' i= f it works I'll get back to you.=0A= ________________________________________=0A= From: 9fans-bounces@9fans.net [9fans-bounces@9fans.net] on behalf of erik q= uanstrom [quanstro@quanstro.net]=0A= Sent: 20 April 2014 18:08=0A= To: 9fans@9fans.net=0A= Subject: Re: [9fans] bootsetup failure on 9legacy=0A= =0A= On Sun Apr 20 12:50:07 EDT 2014, j@margolius.co.uk wrote:=0A= =0A= > During the final step of the 9legacy install on an IBM Thinkpad T60 I=0A= > get an error saying that it fails to mount the 9fat partition and copy=0A= > the files from the /n/newfs directory.
