I merely suggest GRUB because it seems like most of the time, if I can
get through 9load, I can boot the system OK, but sometimes 9load won't
work on such-and-such hardware and I have to resort to PXE booting,
putting the disk in another system to install, whatever. I've found
GRUB on a bootable USB stick to be a pretty reliable way to drop you
into a 32-bit kernel.
