jens,
are you booting on a 386 system or amd64? what is the hardware?
the 9boot prompt (the > where you give bootfile) is pretty simple, and you can only set variables. it cant do 'ls' or anything like that. if it cant find the bootfile it will take you back to the prompt iirc.
as for gpt, there's no gpt support yet. i have program to do gpt in a similar fashion to disk/fdisk, but it's not quite polished up or integrated into 9front. it does work though :)
is it possible you can drop into an EFI shell on your system to find the bootfile?
more information on EFI booting is in the 9boot(8) manual.
