yeah but I want to do the whole thing in lguest, as a test.
The boot cd does not help me -- cd is partitioned. I think the
question still needs a good answer -- you have a cd and a disk image,
you boot plan 9 without benefit of 9load, how do you get #S/sdD0/data
set up? you need to write to ctl. What's the sensible way to do this?
