Please make an announce on it, when you'll finish :) Sorry, but as i've already said, i'm a Plan 9 newbie. All the Plan 9 @ Kirkwood tutorials i've found assist only on netboot methods. Maybe someone could add USB boot part? Here for example: http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/guruplug/index.html > i can't tell you how to set up u-boot No need, thanks, i know how. > but if you'll be using partitions, usbd and either > partfs or sdloop needs to be built into the kernel. Usbd and partfs are enabled in standard Plan 9 "plug" kernel, so should be no problem there. I have a USB flash drive with written Plan 9 "rpi" image over there, thought an OS doesn't show any signs that it was recognized. > since i use > sdloop, i don't think i can give you good directions. but basically, > you want to set up nobootprompt=path-to-usb-storage in plan9.ini. > > - erik
