hi all,
this one patch i believe is harmless as it only
reads partition table, but who knows. the diff
is against 2.4.0.
the patch locates partitions inside the plan9
partition table.
as you may know, a plan9 partition table has three
type of partitions inside (9fat, fs, and swap).
9fat is fat16.
plan9 puts its boot loader in the 9fat partition.
with this patch i can locate the 9fat partition so
lilo could boot plan9.
with msdos file system, linux will mount 9fat partition,
so you could use the 9fat partition from linux and plan9.
i can't find anyone with plan9 to test, but it works for
me, so... i'm not on the list anymore, so please cc.
imel
