This is valiant (not dissimilar in intent from miller's 9pi) and useful, but in my opinion you'll get a lot more support from people who like me are willing to build the system from scratch. There are three issues that strike me here: 1. if I understand the 9front-loader, you have built something that resembles it; 2. if you did, it would be nice to converge your version and theirs (I remember you did a lot of work building the bzroot that 9front (and 9pi) may want to adopt and 3. more specifically, your understanding of how a boot image is build could benefit the way 9pi is constructed as well. The above is from discussions we have had and not yet validated by careful investigation of the actual release sources. In any case, I believe that all plan 9 distributions have an opportunity with 9pi and 9ln to consider a commonly maintained installation process. Maybe all it takes is more documentation, but more likely just a little more effort. Lucio. PS: Once again: you did good and I'd like to congratulate you. I set out to do this many years ago and you beat me by miles!
