9atom has the beginnings of gpt support, but that is stalled. the 9atom 64-bit
kernel needs *e820 set in the config area in the format
*e820=memtype begin end ...
the easiest way to arrange this is to use iplfat or iplpxe.
there is no hdd image, there is a usb installer (image). if you boot it from a hard drive,
then edit plan9.ini to reflect the drive its booting from.
good luck.
