It seems to me that if Linux is willing to serve
/dev/cdrom as an image of the CD-ROM, then you should
be able to run the Plan9 9660srv on the u9fs-mounted
/dev/cdrom to get a filesystem that knows about _conform.map.

in linux:
	umount the cd

in plan9:
	mkdir /n/linux
	mkdir /n/cdrom
	srv tcp!linuxbox
	mount /srv/tcp!linuxbox /n/linux dev
	9660srv -f /n/linux/dev/cdrom cdrom
	mount /srv/cdrom /n/cdrom

I don't guarantee that this will work, or even that it won't
crash the Linux and/or Plan9 systems.  I wouldn't play too
much with it unless you know what you're doing.
I've done this with floppy disks, never CDs.

Russ
