Hello,

Newbie question: Whether Plan 9 is compliant with "Multiboot Standard".

If no, whether we can boot plan 9 through GRUB boot loader.

Hey pal,

Compliant? Firstly, what do you mean by "Multiboot Standard" here? Every one
can develop their own so-called "standard" bootloader. The installation of
plan 9 can let you choose whether to boot from the floppy, or boot up from
the plan 9 partition, or boot up from either windows nt and another os which
I've forgetten the name of it.

Basically (if I didn't get this wrong), setting the "GRUB" boot-loader to
load the plan 9 partition will be working fine. Be sure to check the manuals
and papers that shipped with your Plan 9 dist.

Good Luck........
