Subject: [9fans] booting with the Win2K loader....

  The install docs on the Plan9 website says about running
'bootsetup' to specify the boot method. The 'winnt' method,
as described in the docs, creates the bootsector file needed
by the NT loader, and edits and backs up boot.ini. The
unflexible part of this is the NT/Win2k installation has to
be on a FAT partition, which mine isn't.

  This should be able to be circumvented by manually creating
the bootsect.p9 and editing boot.ini by hand(from win2k).
I originally thought the needed bootsector file is from the
start of the plan9 partition, which I thought wrong(didn't work).

 My question is: Just how can we get a NT loader usable
bootsector file manually?
