Hello alls,

Using a laptop as a server seems strange, but is effectively a
simple solution.

Very handfull.

That confirm the usual list of known working hardware.

Thanks a lot for the various answers. Reading them, I
believe that:

1) It's not possible to chainload plan9 when the firmware is
uefi. But someone wrote me off list that =C2=ABmost uefi firmware
also includes bios=C2=BB, and apparently, that is the case of the
supermicro boards (their documentation seems to mention uefi
boot as an option, and not as the default).

2) C2000 sata soc and i354 ethernet controllers are not
known working yet.

3) There's not so much hope to see a port for another arm
board than the raspberry pi and the trimslice soon.

Cheers,

Pierre-Jean.
