That tiny kernel from anothy is pretty encouraging.

OK, unless it makes people REALLY unhappy, we're going to look into a way
to get plan9 to boot plan9. We're finding that OSes make pretty good
bootstraps, since they generally are current on hardware bugs and glitches
that bootstrap loaders lag on. Making an OS boot an OS is not that hard
anyway.

Thanks

ron
