Hello,

I am in trouble in booting 9pccpu from usbdisk.

Boot loader detects 9fat in plan9 partition in usbdisk, and reads =
plan9.ini, and successfully executes 9pccpu.
However, 9pccpu says "no usb disk" in reading /dev/sdXX/nvram

Kernel messages:
usbinit...usbd...usb/hub... no usb disk...
...
auth...can't open /dev/sdXX/nvram: '/env/nvroff' file does not exist
authid: ...
...
init: starting /bin/rc

at% ls /dev/sd*
/dev/sdctl
at%=20

Has anyone succeeded in booting cpu server from usbdisk?
