did you ls -l /n/9fat/9load after doing the chmod?
Yes. Checked and double checked this.
Even repeated the procedure again after it failed to boot,
to no avail.
try reformatting your 9fat. i'm sure the problem is
that your 9load isn't contiguous on disk.
Ok. The new 3 things I did when it worked this last time
was remove 2 backup kernels I had on 9fat and copy back
the kernel I wanted to use. Perhaps that did some reorganizing
required before I copied over the (now much smaller) 9load
Will test again with the recent 9load binary on sources, but
not today.
