Subject: [9fans] the perpetual disk partition problem

Well plan 9 is now booting under lguest, it's even faster than xen.

Now I'm up to disk io, and am back at the usual '9load sets up
partitions, right?' step, and have no partitions. Now, I had proposed
a few years back putting that stuff into boot, but that proposal was
seen to be bad form.

So, question, what are you folks doing to partition disks nowadays
when 9load has not loaded your kernel? I'm curious.
