If it is Grub (which would not surprise me...), it is strange that the official Plan9 9pcf could boot... I am starting to wonder if I should aim for a native install of the official Plan9, then pull the broadcom driver from the 9front CD and update from there.... Probably this would be faster than figuring this out :) About IRC: I will try as soon as I get home from work (IRC blocked from the work network) Thanks for all the help!
