it appears this motherboard is using usb 3 aka xhci. i don't know for certain but i don't think any plan 9 (fork or not-a-fork) has xhci support. looking through the archive, there was talk of xhci about a year ago. try disabling usb 3.0 in the bios setting and see if it makes progress when booting from usb.
