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.
