Hello,
Newbie question: Whether Plan 9 is compliant with "Multiboot Standard".
If no, whether we can boot plan 9 through GRUB boot loader.

Hey pal,
Compliant? Firstly, what do you mean by "Multiboot Standard" here? Every one
can develop their own so-called "standard" bootloader. The installation of
plan 9 can let you choose whether to boot from the floppy, or boot up from
the plan 9 partition, or boot up from either windows nt and another os which
I've forgetten the name of it.
Basically (if I didn't get this wrong), setting the "GRUB" boot-loader to
load the plan 9 partition will be working fine. Be sure to check the manuals
and papers that shipped with your Plan 9 dist.
Good Luck........
Alex

If you have to go out of your way to be compliant, probably not.
If you have to go out of your way not to be compliant, probably.
If you can point me at the multiboot standard or the docs
for this GRUB boot loader (what a great name)
I'll let you know.
