I've Plan9 on sdCO and sometimes want to boot from sdE0 (CFlash on ide)
or from a usb key.
The other devices boots but it seems that the used plan9.ini is always
from sdC0.
Probably something wrong on the CF/key devs I built.
But, just to be sure, shouldn't always be used the plan9.ini from the
boot device ?

Thanks in advance

adriano

yes.  if you're using iplfat, then this is the only thing it can read.

according to the atmel docs, it's interrupt in, bulk out.  does this make sense?

with 9load, you've got no options.  9load is just working
against the machine.

Not sure to have unserstood.
Does it mean that plan9.ini is sequentially searched in a fixed order
no matter what is the actual boot device ?

exactly.  9load can't figure out what the boot device is, because it
can't make bios calls very well, and has likely corrupted bios state.
