Following up on this, it looks like the scripts I used are still in the NIX distribution. /usr/glenda/mknixboot (based on /rc/bin/mkusbboot) will help you create a bootable USB stick from your NIX tree or, presumably, from a 9atom root. /usr/glenda/bin/rc/startinstall is what you run after booting the USB stick. Hope this helps. John
