It's actually quite easy to make a single binary which can be configured
at boot time to be either cpu or terminal, depending on a plan9.ini variable.
IIRC it's a few lines of code in each of
well,
kernel binaries are different for terminals and cpu servers, but these are
built from the same source code.
in reality the kernel is the same modulo some drivers and one variable ( e.g.
no vga in cpu servers).

Plan9 kernel is monolithic with the drivers required for a specific
platform compiled in.
So you might need to write specific drivers for new hardware if they are
not already available.

the steps required to generate a

when we say "new kernel" we mean "new configuration and drivers, and
possibly platform-specific bits"
not a complete rewrite.
