     as a sidenote, you may note that the "init.lua" boot partition overlaps with the actual filesystem
     
     this is correct, as the bootloader is actually loading the kernel from within the filesystem despite having no understanding of the structure of the filesystem
     
     one has to run a command to update the partition table any time the kernel is modified, but that seems like a reasonable price to pay

     okay so I have this logic implemented as module/findroot.lua, but it only deals with rtfs volumes on mtpt partitions
     
     thinking maybe the idea would be to make a module/fs/<name>.lua which would pull in relevant libraries and implement boot support from a given filesystem
     
     thoughts?

     working on my replacement for the stock Lua BIOS
     you can hit a key while it boots to move a device to the top of the list

     ayyy, got the whole system on there now
     
     next steps include:
     - bootloader EEPROM for raw disks
     - util to copy a file to a separate kernel partition
     - util to make a kernel partition point to the area of the disk the kernel is already on(???)

     aww yeah, I have PsychOS auto-mounting (and unmounting) rtfs partitions on disk

     @lucifargundam you thought that was bad, I'm implementing online defragmentation and index compacting by modifying the file handles in memory while the program runs

     got automatic filesystem sharing over the network going
     I call it "PsychOS 2.0a3-a05e19b for Workgroups"

     as a sidenote, the size of the filesystem in df decreases over time because the index is growing and it's not counted as free OR used space
     should probably add it to the used space, but
