You can easily make an bootable Plan 9 USB image by reading the instructions in mkusbboot(8) and the /rc/bin/mkusbboot script. For example, this is how I do it: http://www.9legacy.org/9legacy/doc/fossil/usb If you want the installer, you can add the 9pcflop image, by compiling it yourself or extracting it from the bootdisk.img included on the Plan 9 CD image. Then the Fossil file system could be used as an installation source. You can make it from Plan 9 or from Unix, using 9vx, it doesn't matters. I have an old (2012-01-23) Plan 9 USB image, available here: http://www.9legacy.org/download/plan9-usb.img.bz2 I will probably update it soon and I could add the 9pcflop installation image if you wish. -- David du Colombier
