9load doesnt detect your storage devices. you could try plan9front cd (http://r-36.net/9front/) wich uses a different bootloader wich uses bios to access storage devices (so it doesnt need a custom driver) wich will probably gets a kernel loaded.
if the kernel also doesnt detect the ide/sata controller, type !rc at the bootargs prompt to get into a pre boot shell, then run: grep -n '^01' '#$/pci/'*ctl often, its just a matter of adding pci vid/did to the ide/sata driver to get it running. -- cinap
