I'm talking to nemo about what we should do to partition USB devices.
fwiw, I'm using the attached patch to /sys/src/9/pc/boot
to mount my usb drive as root partition, now.
The rootspec I'm using is "local!/dev/sdXX/fossil".
It relies on adding yet more binaries to the ramdisk: partfs,
fdisk and

the same cheat would work. the plan 9 kernel doesn't
partition disks.
i haven't written a sdorion 9load driver, so i cheat in
a similar way. replace sda0 with the appropriate.
I'm not using 9load, anyway. This machine has OFW and I'm

There are two distinct issues: booting from USB devices and
partitioning USB devices. I believe that if you follow the directions
at the end of prep(8), you have a modern BIOS, and it isn't too buggy,
you should be able to boot from a FAT file system on a USB device
(that is, load a kernel from it
i think that with sdloop(3) it's possible to get a drive
partitioned on bootup. the one gnarly trick you'd need
is to put the partitions manually in your plan9.ini unless
9load sees the device through bios.

Hmm.. Here is what I would like to do. I would like to put
a FAT32 and a fossil (or kfs) filesystem on a usb flash drive
and use the FAT32 for botting and the fossil as my root

I don't get timeouts here.
can you check that sw built from
sources one month old do work and
that sw built from current ones do not?
(both kernel and user code for USB).
if you can tell me an interval when
the thing broke for your devices I
can try to guess why and do
something.

Do you get a timeout shortly after you plug the device in and usbd
shows it as detected? I use "usbdebug" in plan9.ini, so I may be

Regarding the problem with current sources, it's weird.
What do you see in #u/usb/ctl when you plug your
disk into?
What does usbd say when you run it with debug enabled?
