Yes.
Erik's observations are also correct (it's "Geoff's reform 63-bitized version").

Why not ?
About a year ago I've built an alternative firmware for some tiny
WLAN router which was based on an i386 clone SoC (IIRC made by TI).
Old-fashioned x86 isnt so bad for embedded a

Sound great. I will buy a small IDE flash modul and test it.

pedants would point out that it is unlikely this is
"traditional" ken fs. it is much more likely to be geoff's
reform 63-bitized version.

THANK YOU to everyone
I'm running the traditional Ken FS, sans Erik's mods.
"sans" is French for "without" hence serif & sans-serif, is that what

should have explained that my fs accepts 3 partition

p(h0)x.ywhere x <= y and y <= 100.
partition by percentage. y% of the disk starting at x.
p(h0)w.zwhere z > 100
partition by block offsets. w-z blocks of the disk

than that of Plan 9
