we're now writing the nwa to disk. this calculation appears to be incorrect. here's the check in cdfs: /* reconcile differing nwas */ if (aux->mmcnwa != nwa) { fprint(2, "%s: nwa from drive %,ld != computed nwa %,ld\n", argv0, aux->mmcnwa, nwa); fprint(2, "\tbe careful! assuming computed nwa\n"); /* the invisible track may still start at the old nwa. */ // aux->mmcnwa = nwa; } > > has the new installer which uses bios to access the hard drive > > without el-torito emulation, and thus has no size constraints. > > while it does fail on more hardware, it does support usb during the > > install. > > > I don't know much about how 9atom works, but the new plan 9 loader > uses el-torito, but version 3 which lets you access the whole cd as an > lba device. 9atom uses either 9load (and pre version 3 el torito) or cinap's bios loader. (this is the .nboot. version of the iso) the cd appears as a bios disk. this is likely el torito version 3 under the covers, but that's not the programming interface. you can look at the code online /n/atom/plan9/sys/src/cmd/boot/iplpxe/ - erik
