So, back to this issue. I've finally figured out how to make a bootable iso ( for future search in the archives: /n/sources/contrib/maht/rc/mkiso , /sys/lib/dist/pc/mkfile , and http://maht0x0r.blogspot.com/2007/11/roll-your-own-plan9-iso.html were pretty much the only useful docs I could find on t
