pbs.s and pbslba.s are the primary
bootstrap loaders described in 9load(8).
pbs.s uses old c/h/s addressing,
while pbslba.s uses new lba addressing.

pbsdisk.s is for debugging: you add in
the disk reading routines from either
pbs.s or pbslba.s, and it reads the first
sector and displays it on the screen.

I'm still hunging around scsi disk problems, new file server has
been up though.

I found a file, named /sys/src/boot/pc/pbsdisk.s, which is not
used for compile.  What is the difference between these three
programs, pbs.s, pbslba.s and pbsdisk.s?

I'm now leaning to abondon the idea to hold two versions in
a same domain...  These two versions are seemed to be very
different especially at booting.
