If Plan9 should honour i86 disk layout, should it
not also follow sparc/mips/xxx layout too? At the same time?
Sounds like a lot of work to me.

And it is quite nice to have it at the end of the disk. For instance, I can have a dual boot sparc station.
OpenBSD at the front of the disk, plan9 at the end.


Best Wishes, Bengt
