OK, as of yesterday we're doing this:
- machine boots, starts up linuxbios (i.e. no BIOS there at all)
- linuxbios loads etherboot from flash
- etherboot loads 9load
- 9load boots from sdC0

(contrary to naming, no Linux enters this picture)

Next step is to just put 9load into flash. I expect this to Just Work, but
we'll see.

Congrats to Andrey who dealt with all this fun. Now he is off to Paris to
take a break. Why don't I get breaks like that?
