Subject: [9fans] bootable cd images
Date: Wed, 12 Jun 2002 22:42:22 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <75a025073e03ede570c73142d502510b@plan9.bell-labs.com> (raw)

the current plan 9 cd image (installed
an hour or two ago) is bootable.  a menu
asks whether you want to boot the equivalent
of the install floppy or simply to boot plan 9
using the cd as the root file system.

booting entirely off cd works just fine.

i haven't tried doing an install from it,
but it's the same kernel that the install
disk uses, so i expect it to work (famous
last words).

thanks to forsyth and jmk for figuring out
the hard parts.
