Re: [9front] Update system: Boot files not updated

[Steve Simon <steve@quintile.net>]

i always put a mkfile in my 9fat partitions which copies the kernel and mbr (if relevant) onto the 9fat partition. i also copy my venti and fossil configs into /cfg as backups. 

not that it is hard, more to ensure i don't miss a step as i dont do it often.

Whatever you need to run the binaries is up to you and depends on your environment. Installing them to /$objtype/ is the best the system can do for you and intended behavior.

I usually just install pc64 (and my own wip port to pinephone) from their directories manually. Again, install only to /$objtype/, and install to 9fat or sdcard manually.
