Reading the grub docs, it sounds like an active partition is marked
bootable and only one partition can be marked that way. Currently my
linux partition is marked bootable but I'm not sure if it needs to be
since grub is installed in the MBR. Any thoughts? I might just try to
set my plan9 partition bootable and see what happens; I'm sure i can fix
things if I can't boot later.
