Hi,

I've made some changes to 9load so it let you set and change
variables at boot time.
This is intended to be used when you are booting from a read-only
media like a cdrom, where you can't edit plan9.ini.
And would help people during the install, because
sometimes you need *norealmode=, *noe820scan=, installurl=, etc to
make it work.

you need to have "*uservars=" in your plan9.ini, and you'll get a prompt at
boot time.
