not dumb. but you don't really need to create a whole new image.
i'm typing this on the fly, so i hope there are no errors. :-)
first, apply the patch to the source, then build all of usb
9fs sources
cd /sys/src/cmd/usb/lib
cp /n/sources/patch/usbshortdesc/dev.c dev.c
cd ..
mk install
then, build a new kernel
cd /sys/src/cmd/bcm; mk
i believe you can give it a quick test by doing a hot reboot.
fshalt -r ./9pi
if you'd like to install the new kernel on the flash, then
dossrv
mount /srv/dos /n/9fat /dev/sdM0/dos
cd /n/9fat
cp 9pi 9pi-dist
cp /sys/src/9/bcm/9pi 9pi-usbfix
cp 9pi-usbfix 9pi
and reboot. if this doesn't work out, you can rescue yourself
by using anything that understands fat and replacing 9pi
with the contents of 9pi-dist.
