Yeah, my error was to assume I needed to make an special filesystem to boot
and install Plan 9 from a USB device... Nevermind.
Thank you for the help guys, I'm going to try David's build. Wish me luck!
Hi. I have tried David's build. I copied it to an USB with ''dd if=[.img
file] of=/dev/sdb bs=1M" and it boots. It detects the CPU and I can see
something like "boot into real mode". Then nothing happens. The LED of my
USB also does not indicate disk activity too.
What can I do now?
Ah, nevermind, I have seen that rc script, I was very stupid thinking I
could do the same thing you can do with Miller's SD image for the
Rpi. Please forgive my stupidity and (serious) brain damage.
Maybe should I try 9front instead? I read they made a new bootloader to fix
that issue.
I don't really want to deal with ELF binaries and Grub...
I will try 9front and if its bootloader works then I will use it against
vanilla Plan 9.
Ah, sorry then if my previous message sounded somehow violent.
My idea is to install and run Plan 9 on a USB a few days, then copy the
disk image onto the HDD when I will be comfortable with it, so what I want
is to be able to boot from USB every time I plug it without relying on
external software
Sorry, I have another question here. I have browsed the wiki, the mailing
list and I have googled it a lot but I'm still not sure.
9front's wiki says that in order to make a Live USB you need to copy a
compiled Plan 9 kernel in a '/386' folder. From what I have seen there's
two available 386 kern
I see.
9front's booloader works flawlessly. It's a little annoying to write
local!/shr/sdU7.0/tmp/9front.iso at the command prompt everytime, but at
least it runs. The only problem (aside of using the US QWERTY layout, I'm
spanish) is that it cannot run rio (it says something like 'cannot open
/de
It seems I don't need aux/realemu and aux/vga at all to boot rio, it can
run with monitor=vesa and vgasize=640x480x8 in plan9.ini. I still haven't
found out how to run in 1024x738 with vesa, through, will check if it can
run at least at 800x600 with the vga command as you said.
BTW, there are two
I don't see the problem. If I wanted to implement human beings, physical
laws, an universe and an operating system inside a missing text editor
inside a Lisp interpreter on a C compiler I'm pretty sure I would add 1200
options.

Is the universe free as in the GNU General Multiverse License?
