Sorry. no local disk (currently).
it's a diskless cpu/auth server that doubles as terminal,
boots kernel from flop, takes root from fs.
(150 Mhz pentium with 64 Mb ram)
My only other plan 9 machine here is a laptop
with unsupported audio hardware.

my config file contains neither dev->usb nor misc->usbuhci
is based on pccpu, with audio, serial, and a lot of net and
video drivers

As I mentioned, the other thing I did notice is that
in the stats window the load is now dramatically less
(almost half) than I used to see (unless load very
much depends on the particular mp3 file being played).

I now intend to just install the update, and see what happens.
