Sorry.

It is a tinycorelinux USB stick somewhat (but not much!) customized
with a 9vx installation. It runs really well on old, small systems and
really fast on new ones. I included 9vx, the vx32 mercurial tree, and
mercurial and gcc toolchain so you can update 9vx, hack the source,
and build a new 9vx kernel. Thus, you've got a small (well, < 1G
anyway; a cheap USB stick nowadays) image that gives you a full Plan 9
environment but works on almost any hardware.

Excellent! :-)  

I've had some odd troubles in the past getting 9vx to behave in all the same ways as a regular Plan 9 machine, but then I think most of those had been addressed on 9fans at some point.  Seemed like some of them were around networking and such.
