I played around a bit over the weekend. Not much progress
to report. I think 9pcflop may be a better starting point
than 9pcdisk. When the install floppy boots after loading
the kernel it claims to start kfs. There is no kfs partition
on the boot floppy, however. It must be starting one in RAM,
using something precompiled into the kernel as a starting
point. This is essentially what you want to do. I wish I
understood a bit better how the boot floppies are generated.
