i've set up several machines to boot from usb, and the installer
that i've been working on boots from usb.  i can't tell you how
to set up u-boot, but if you'll be using partitions, usbd and either
partfs or sdloop needs to be built into the kernel.  since i use
sdloop, i don't think i can give you good directions.  but basically,
you want to set up nobootprompt=path-to-usb-storage in plan9.ini.
