i think it will probablly work. here's how to try this out.
you need "did" for the device? you can get this number with
"lspci -n" on linux or "cat /dev/pci/32.02.00ctl" from plan9. you
should see a number like 8086/0960. the did is the number that
isn't 8086.
then you need to go to /sys/src/9/pc/sdata.c:2011. add
case (your did here<<16)|0x8086: /* 82801FBM (ICH6M) */
then
cd /n/lib/dist/pc
mk ndisk ; dd -if ndisk -of /dev/fd0disk
and try booting that floppy.
i can make you a boot floppy if you give me the did. it might
be a pain in the butt trying to build 9pcf if you don't have another
machine on which to build.
