	I noticed that plan9.ini is padded to 512 bytes and has \r\n
	DOS styled lines.  If I want to change it do I have to confirm
	to those rules, or are such things transparent.

That made generating the floppy disk easy.
It's not required.

	It seems that 9pcflop.gz contains all the drivers and that
	plan9.ini determines which one is used.

Basically, yes.

	There is no more b.com ?
	There was a size limit in old b.com , is it gone now?

There is still a size limit, but on a simpler program.
Read 9load(8) for all the gore.
