Hello,

The last week hasn't been much productive because of my university
exams.

Done:
- FAT support removed from the PBS
- PBS now reads a block from the disk. The block has (not only) the a.out header
for the kernel that will be read.
- A new kernel configuration called pctiny builds a kernel that is
little enough to fit on a floppy without gzipping. It is being used in
my testing disk.
- mkdisk is a script that builds a disk file from the pbslba and 9pctiny.
Used mainly for testing

Next Steps:
- I'm having some problems with the data read from disk, I can find it on memory
by hand but not programmatically. I'm surely missing something simple,
just don't know what. Need to fix it.
- Run the read kernel
- Write a userland program to replace some 9load functions (prompt for
kernel to be booted, read plan9.ini, etc)
- Get the kernel to use the above mentioned program

Best,
iru

ps: thanks Devon for the help
