Zack - os9gen and cobbler steal the kernel modules (rel/boot/os9p1) from
memory.

So if you accidentally trash part of one of those modules, the os9gen will then
carry on that bad module thru generations of bootdisks... easy to spot this if
it happens tho: one of the modules won't show up in MDIR.

Easy fix too: just boot with a GOOD bootdisk, and then do another os9gen...
which'll take the good modules from memory again. - kev
