i think you have three options.
1. certainly. there's nothing magic about the installer. the steps are
in broad terms
- prepare the disk with the proper partions, etc.
- create the boot 9fat. fill with a boot loader, plan9.ini and kernel
- create the file system you wish to use
- copy the files from the cd to the newly minted fs.
- if you've done a few nonstandard things, you may need
to also build a new kernel.
the instructions for these things should be covered in booting(8),
prep(8), fdisk(8), format(8).
2. you could try the 9atom cd.
3. richard miller's sd image for the rasberry pi "just works". that
might be the easiest way to bootstrap your environment. building
a pc from a raspberry pi would be easier than starting from scratch.
by the way, any votes for a raspberry pi install/hack session at iwp9?
