the problem with 9load is that it was written before i did support for the sb600 chipset. i now have a machine with that northbridge, but i haven't finished with 9load.
i'm working on it right now. (p.s. if you feel brave, /n/sources/contrb/quanstro/9loadsb600) - erik > Geoff asked about *noahciload in my plan9.ini; no, it is not set.

More poking to do.
