[9fans] Recommended resources for exploring the Plan 9 kernel.

[Vester Thacker]

I am delving into plan9/mach kernel and am looking for some resources on
kernel internals. I've completed an exhaustive search on the topic using the
google search engine, but I thought it better to ask the experts about good
reference material instead. Any recommendations, or comments about dated
material to stay away from? TIA.

The best resource -- in addition to the source code -- is Nemo's
Kernel Notes for Plan9 3rd Ed.  Look for "kernel notes" on the page below:
