Earlier versions of the distribution booted on multiple
platforms, but today the PC is so dominant in the marketplace
and the construction of a bootable distribution so difficult
that we only package the distribution for installation on
one architecture. Once you've got a PC running, it's much
easier to get another system to boot. A number of people
have ipaqs running Plan 9, for example; that's a StrongARM
system. All the necessary code is part of the distribution.
