[9fans] bootsetup failure on 9legacy

[Jan]

During the final step of the 9legacy install on an IBM Thinkpad T60 I get an 
error saying that it fails to mount the 9fat partition and copy the files from 
the /n/newfs directory. I did notice an earlier error where it failed to apply 
dma to my hard drive, citing an I/O error. An error similar to the one I get 
during bootsetup. Any advice?
