if you have a recent 64-bit intel machine, the hardware support should be nearly the same as plan 9 for networking, and all ahci and aoe are supported for disks. getting kenfs going seems to trip a lot of people up. but 9atom's mkfsboot (see mkfsconf(8)) should make life easier. perhaps an image of the current system bootable from the first ahci device might be better.... - erik
