  How do I make a file server boot floopy using it?
  Take a 9disk.9fd disk and replace the boot image, will that work?

We forgot to include pc/bootfloppy (mentioned in update(8))
in the current packages.  It will be in the next one, and is below.

pc/bootfloppy /dev/fd0disk your.plan9.ini
a:
cp /sys/src/fs/plan9pc/9pcfs /n/a:
unmount /n/a:

% cat /rc/bin/pc/bootfloppy
#!/bin/rc

if(! ~ $#* 2) {
	echo 'usage: bootfloppy /dev/fd0disk plan9.ini'>[1=2]
	exit usage
}

if(! test -f $2) {
	echo $2 does not exist >[1=2]
	exit noplan9.ini
}

mkdir /tmp/bootfloppy.$pid
cp $2 /tmp/bootfloppy.$pid/plan9.ini
dd -bs 512 -count 1 < /dev/zero >/tmp/bootfloppy.$pid/plan9.nvr
disk/format -b /386/pbs -f -d $1 /386/9load /tmp/bootfloppy.$pid/*
rm -rf /tmp/bootfloppy.$pid

I just made 9pcfs in /sys/src/fs/plan9pc.
It is a boot image for file server?

How do I make a file server boot floopy using it?
Take a 9disk.9fd disk and replace the boot image, will that work?
