Ok so i'm hearing a lot of unsupported here. I just wanted to mention that when it boots up from the CD it shows boot devices: fd0 so it seems like only floppy is recognized. This could be because this DVD-drive is kinda glitchy, FreeBSD had issues with it too when i installed it but i just kept

How about disk storage ... HS21 have internal SAS controller that is unsopported by Plan9. I'll just have to get my hands on one of those floppy disks i keep hearing so much about from my grandfather. ;) -- С наилучшими пожеланиями Жилкин Сергей With best regards Zhilkin Sergey
