Yes. > I assume that the 32 bit image uses the GNU Linux baked in disk drivers by > default Yes. > and would not detect as many SSDs or HDDs as rumpdisk would. The AHCI driver within gnumach can support AHCI disks, be they SSD or HDD, it really doesn't matter. What matters is the disk controller, whether it's simple AHCI that gnumach's AHCI driver can support, or something else that only rumpdisk supports. > If you would like, I could just say this instead: > > The 32 image does not use rumpdisk by default, but you can > [[switch to rumpdisk|hurd/documentation/rump/rumpdisk]].
