What you want to do it boot a cdrom-capable kernel on a plan9 terminal (which
it appears you have already done), and then use mkfs|mkext with a custom
proto file that will copy only the stuff you want.
Look in /lib/proto for the prototype files, in particular /lib/proto/portproto,
copy portproto to /tmp/myproto, edit it to suit your needs,
and use something like the following on your cdrom terminal:

mount -c /srv/il!* /n/kremvax
mount /srv/boot /n/boot
disk/mkfs -a -s /n/boot /tmp/myproto | disk/mkext -u -d /n/kremvax

You don't need to think __conform.map if you mount the cdrom on a plan9
system. That "find" script is for unpacking things under Unix.
