What information may be helpful? Hi. It seems that biosdisk driver can't detect any disks except floppy. You can add some printfs to the bd_init() and bd_int13probe() functions in the sys/boot/i386/libi386/biosdisk.c file. Then recompile the loader and test. Also you can try to use grub loader, afaik it has a bit more quirks to the known problems. If it will work, we can try to fix our loader too. -- WBR, Andrey V. Elsukov
