These are intended to be exceptional cases, not everyday options. If you need them to make Plan 9 work on a given machine, tell us. Does anyone have a machine that still requires *noe820scan? I know no one requires *norealmode, because that's redundant with *noe820scan the way things are currently set up. Russ
