it's probably better to ask the inferno-list, to avoid too much
confusion, but the boot disk is the same.  for a boot diskette, for instance,
see plan 9's prep(8) for details of disk/format.  its use is along the lines of the example there:

               disk/format -b /386/pbs -df /dev/fd0disk /386/9load /tmp/plan9.ini

but you'll need to prepare the content for plan9.ini (taken from /tmp/plan9.ini
in the example).  see plan9.ini(10) in Inferno's manual pages or plan9.ini(8) in Plan 9's.
you often don't need much more than bootfile= and possibly ether=
