Booting from a USB flash drive is possible (if the BIOS supports
booting from USB), but a bit tricky. I had to make few small changes
in 9load. I have an image somewhere, if anybody is interested in
trying it I can try to find it.
Thanks,

You can install from a local fat partition if you put the plan9.iso

in the partition - don't unpack it, just put the single big file
there
and the installer scripts will allow you to chose it as a source
for the
full install.
A bigger problem is you have to boot the installer kernel, normally
this
comes from either a floppy disk or the install CDROM (which
contains a
floppy disk inage). If you don't have either of these you may be
able to do
some tricks by creating a bootable partition by hand on your hard
disk,
though this is going to get painful.
Maybe somone else can think of some other technique.
