i don't see those debugging statements on sources, so clearly i could be misreading this. but assuming that i'm not confused about what that says, wouldn't that segment:off be a problem? as far as i know, 9load only maps 8mb. > So, I added a second (slave) HD on IDE0, with a small FAT partition, etc., > and booted: > sdB0!dos!9pcflop.gz > and voila, installer runs, but only up to the '[partdisk]: no disk devices > were found on your system. The installation process cannot continue.' /sys/src/9/pcflop has sdiahci commented out. i would think at this point we could trade sdmylex and sd53c8xx for sdiahci. (sadly, it's hard to find 5v pci slots anymore.) but since you're not on a floppy, you can compile a kernel with them all in. you don't need to fit in 1.44mb. - erik
