Hello, Last week we decided that a Plan 9 partition should have the PBS at the first block, the pcload kernel at blocks 2..16MB, and the subpartitions after it. The PBS will read the pcload kernel from the boot media into memory and jump to it.
By now, I have: - read and documented the PBS - wrote a C prototype utility to read a Plan 9 a.out into memory - started removing the FAT support from the PBS - started translating the C prototype to assembly The next week steps are: - finish the removal of FAT support - make the PBS read and execute a Plan 9 a.out One thing that must be noted is that the changes are taking place on pbslba, not pbs. If are there any objections about using LBA addressing as the default, please let me now. I'd like to thank Gorka for sending me some code he had worked on and by offering his help.
