great!  just as an aside, 9load-e820 contains a hack which
allows one to use bootdev and bootpath as replaceable
parameters.  if venti is on your boot disk, you could say

	venti=bootpath/venti

the mechanism behind this needs to be fixed, but i've
enjoyed not working about which sata port the cdrom
or boot disk is plugged into.
