Which boot loader are you using?

update the wiki in case we find some problem and the
way to handle it.

i've been trying to get plan9 working on an ipaq (well i spent
some of last night doing it).  i had some successes and some
failures.

i can't get the latest bootldr to boot 9 from flash.  it looks
to me like the boot formats must have changed.  i can boot a
kernel from ram (using "load ram", "call 0xc....") and it runs
but the kernel is in an unrecognised format if it tries to
boot automatically.

it looks like the paqdisk that i've generated is broken.  the
ipaq tries to boot off it but can't find /bin/rc.  if i
mount the paqdisk locally (paqfs paqdisk) i get a broken
process whenever i try to access anything other than the
root directory).

this is all with an early 4th edition setup.  have things
changed much since then?  any suggestions on how to deal
with either of these problems?

thanks,
stephen
