there's a way to initialize #k from a disk sector explaining
the layout. the man page says how. if you do that (and add #k
to the pcf kernel) then you don't need pcfl and its boot script.

that's because you're supposed to use 9pcf.
the boot script stuff is great for trying new
things, but for actually doing things where
you pull in sensible defaults and the like,
the c code in /sys/src/9/boot seems to do a
better job. once i had figured out how a fossil
kernel should be booted (using the boot script
as a flexible prototype) i put the logic into
boot.
