It gets stranger. The DVD boots, but the stage1 loader enumerates
all the disks (sdE[0-3] sdF[01]) and for each it complains
dosinit: can't open #S/sdXX/plan9
The sdF[01] devices are the two internal drives. I'm not sure why
it sees four sdE* devices as there is only one USB DVD drive attached
(assuming sdE* is referring to the DVD -- that part of the device
enumeration scrolls off the screen before I can read it).
I'm starting to think the problem is Supermicro's lame BIOS. They
always seem to do the least amount of work they can, and we've run
into their braindamage before.
I guess the next step is to try to get 9legacy installed as a VM,
and then try using that to bootstrap a network install.
I really wasn't looking for a project ... :-P
