Re: [9front] Booting without sd card (MNT Reform)

[alex-ml@posteo.de]

Hello,

I just wanted to try it without toggling the switch, since it reads 
"should be positioned", but in the step before there is "9reform.u" 
mentioned, which I can't find unfortunately (not even via "walk"). It 
also seems that it's not an intermediate when using mk in 
/sys/src/boot/reform. Can anyone help me find / build this file, please?

Thank you very much in advance.

Best regards,
Alex
