Subject: [9fans] 9load didn't like SUSE Linux on the disk

Seems that 9load doesn't check the partition types before deciding to
doswalk a partition.  I installed SUSE Linux on my disk and couldn't
boot from the plan 9 floppy.  9load panic'ed.  After I tracked
it down to the doswalk, I fixed my problem by just removing the
partition table from the disk drive.  I haven't spent enough time
looking to find where 9load picks the partition that it thinks is a
dos partition.  Anyone know where it does this?
