I somehow, managed to install Plan 9 with the help of QEMU on a Lenovo
machine, because 9load did not recognize DVD-RW on SATA bus, which
indeed is configured in IDE Mode --
Product: IdeaCentre K200 5312-3CQ
Operating system: GNU/Linux (Arch, Debian/testing), FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT
and XP/SP3 are working fine.

Though, I'm not an expert kernel programmer, but I shall be happy to
follow leads and, or pointers on making this work.
I think, I need to add some quirks in /sys/src/boot/pc/sd{ata|bios}.c
and /sys/src/9/pc/sdata.c as well. I however, am wondering, where the
/sys/src/9/pc/sdbios.c is?
