9fat is also a pain in that the 9load file must be created with,
and retain its append only file, which has a special meaning to 9fat
telling it to create the file in sequential blocks.

This could (and has) caused problems if you access the 9fat partition
from os's other than plan9.

The only times I have had to change plan9.ini from somthing else
than the booted system (because I have broken the boot process)
I booted the plan9 live cdrom.

I would be happy if 9load and 9fat disappeared and it was
replaced with a plan9 bootstrap kernel and (say) an rc(1) script.
