Just wondering. How do you distinguish between Fossil
and Venti, when they are running on the same machine?
They have very different memory requirement.

not an apples-to-apples comparison. devdraw images are
reclaimable and compactable. and does init paqfs exit or not?
that's another 10mb. but memory use is really beside the point.

you can do that with the usual scripts with 9atom. it requires setting

it's another stage of bootloading which requires a number of things to be
built-in
to the kernel. in this sense, it's like initrd.

i'd say that it's a bit of parsimony that we didn't get right.

Probably right, although it's never been clear to me why some things
have '*' and some don't. For example etherN=X is used only by
the kernel, but it still gets passed in the normal '#e' environment
to processes.

Yes. I think it's a good idea.
But maybe without the leading '*', since they
aren't kernel parameters.

Using a shell script to control booting has been around for a while:

How about
*fossilpercent=NN
*ventipercent=NN
*kfspercent=NN
Any others?
I'll do a patch if nobody objects. Needs a change to kfs to add '-m' opt
Thanks Erik and John,
It seems the option value -m is 20 by default.
/sys/src/9/boot/local.c in Plan9:
run("/boot/fossil", "-m", "20", "-f", partition,
"-c", "srv -A fboot", "-c", "srv -p fscons", nil);
I have looked contents in /boot/bootfs.paq of 9front.
