yes, exactly. I cannot just install form usb-cd. So my solution was to
make a dos partition (since 9load obiously can see it) and put
9pcflop.gz there. I choose 9pcflop,gz, because that was the only obvious
choice to me.
The rest is described in my previous emails.
Also I do not insist on using grub. Lilo would do as well, if that makes
any difference in this case.
Best regards
Michal
