i already answered this. man plan9.ini
read it. it will tell you exactly how to do that. learn to use the
manual pages. its there so people don't have to spoon feed you.
no shit booting from an extended/logical partition doesn't work. its
unsupported. bioses aren't supposed to even try that, because its
EXPLICITLY unsupported. not something that maybe-sometimes works, but is
actually WRONG, and not supposed to be done. this isn't new, it's been
like that since the PC became a thing.
not the brightest rock in the light bulb factory, are you?
