I ought to wait until I've had a chance to get my wits about me, but
what needs to be mentioned is that I have two distinct issues here: a
"compact flash" card (thanks, forsyth) and a USB-based reader-writer
(with four slots, by the way, I have no idea what to do with three of
them).
I can't use the CF card under Plan 9 just yet, nor the USB
reader-writer, but I want the CF to have a bootable Plan 9 image on
it. Ideally, I'd like to choose between Plan 9 and NetBSD, as the
Plan 9 features I want are still being developed (USB, graphics etc.)
whereas NetBSD already supports them.
I haven't yet exhausted all the possibility, nor really identified and
studied them. But I have been given plenty of information from
contributors on the list and I'm glad that the information is being
archived as I'm sure other will also benefit from the advice.
++L
PS: In fact, I _can_ now write the CF card on the thin client, where
it is presently seen as a somewhat weird IDE disk (I'll post the
details elsewhere just for curiosity, I think something needs fixing
in disk/fdisk), but I'm reluctant to do so as it's the only device and
if I overwrite its current configuration booting Plan 9 the thin
clients may become an impossibility. Once I'm more confident, I'll
try that path. For the time being, I want a somewhat less risky
approach.
