there should be a generic way of making a harddrive bootable.
then we could just use this from the installer instead of
/rc/bin/inst/bootsetup and also use it to make usb drives
bootable.
something like:
mkbootfat [-b] /dev/sdXX
the -b switch would try to make everything from scratch:
- whipe
- install mbr
- make single dos partition (fdisk)
- format the dos partition
normal procedure is like:
- look for 9fat and dos partitions, let the user select one if multiple
choices are present.
- install pbs on dos partition (disk/format -b)
- mount and copy 9bootfat+kernel+plan9.ini to dos partition
- make dos partition active and optionally install mbr if not already done
