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? It can stay in the same place on the disk; just update the (PC-style) partition table accordingly, so other (PC) OSes know its there. OSes that don't use the table won't be affected.
