That is unfortunate. I really appreciated that Plan9 would 'hide' at the end of the disk,
no matter what OS that had formatted/labeled the disk in question.
If the new release uses PC standard partition table
it should mean that I can no longer move a disk from x86 Plan9
to Sparc Plan9. Or am I wrong?


Best Wishes, Bengt
