i'm a little slow on the uptake today; why do the sizes reported in /boot
not agree with the sizes elsewhere?

; 9fat
; ls -l /boot/factotum /n/9fat/factotum /386/bin/auth/factotum
--rwxrwxr-x M   8 sys      sys      322095 May 24 14:56 /386/bin/auth/factotum
--r-xr-xr-x /   0 quanstro quanstro 224398 Jul  6 19:33 /boot/factotum
--rw-rw-rw- M 326 bill     trog     322095 Aug 17 15:04 /n/9fat/factotum

Perhaps because /boot/factotum's size excludes the symbol table?

; size /bin/auth/factotum 
181107t + 43260d + 4832b = 229199	/bin/auth/factotum

; acid /boot/factotum
/boot/factotum:386 plan 9 executable

/sys/lib/acid/port
/sys/lib/acid/386
no symbol information

okay.  /boot must be served from memory.  now all i need to do is figure out where that happens.
it was probablly so slick i missed it.

check the kernel config file. files in /boot are compiled in.

okay, the code is easy enough to follow.  i found the kernel templates,
but somehow the fact they were compiled in went right over my head. 
how 9pcf makes a lot more sense. ;-)
