I read that.  Both the man page and the name suggest that this
writes a Master Boot Record.  I have a working Master Boot Record,
however.  It is the boot sector of the plan9 partition which I
seem to have hosed.  Please correct me if I am mistaken about
what disk/mbr does.  I think I need something like
disk/format -b something /dev/sdC0/9fat some other options.
Sorry if my original message was rather confused.
