I don't have a Plan 9 system or a bitsy at hand but I remember running into this. The hard coded partition definition is fparts in /sys/src/9/boot/paq.c. The ramdisk partition is defined to be 4 MB although the various documents imply it should be 6 MB. I recall simply changing the ramdisk entry to, "add ramdisk 0x0200000 0x0800000", allowed me to use larger images. Hope this helps, eoghan
