I've some more questions to partitoning process in Plan9, I hope that after
solving them I will finally manage to partiton my disk successfully:

1. After mounting usb disk with addloop, there is no file /dev/sdU1.0/plan9. How
can I create plan9 partion table?

2. What does diskparts(8), actually do? Does it create partitons on phisical disk?

3. Is the inst/textonly avalible in 9atom or is it obsolete?

4. This whole partiton process seems very strange to me. How can I determine partiton
sizes during partinoning? Which files go where(as I can see there are at least two partition
types: fossil and 9fat)?

5. Thank you very much erik for your help but could you give me a little descripton on what
does the commands you've provided me supose to do?

Sorry, if this questions are to obvious to you but as a newbie I don't understand plan9
fully. I can already feel its power but I'm sitll not able to use it.

BR,
Szymon
