will also do the letter swapping dance
I *think* you can use it in combination with grub (not done so myself)
I use it for multi-booting freebsd / windowsXp and plan9 on whatever
drives one likes
not that anyone would boot plan9 & windowsxp on the same machine, eh
uriel ?

I think I get what you mean, but why would it swap the drive letters ?
I mean if grub already found the right partition and started it, why
would it then mess up while calling 9load ?
PCs are only meant to boot from the first hard drive.
Grub does some kind of magic that I don't fully understand
to convince the BIOS to pretend that the second hard drive
is the first and vice versa. If that doesn't get through to
pbs/pbslba or gets through the wrong way, then pbs/pbslba
could easily end up looking at the wrong disk for the 9fat
partition.
