It used to live in /sys/src/9/bitsy.

it was removed from 9front in 2016:

        term% bind -ac /dist/plan9front /
        term% git/log -n1 /sys/src/9/bitsy

                remove unmaintained bitsy (ipaq) kernel
        
but you can get it out of history:

        term% git/query 76e4f7caf9440f3ebb667b801fa55f5bc1c4be08~
        8d9a94a66ed80605cb21be1a091a9b6fe02bd023
        term% @{cd / && git/fs}
        term% mkdir oldkernel
        term% dircp /.git/fs/object/8d9a94a66ed80605cb21be1a091a9b6fe02bd023/tree/sys/src/9 oldkernel

In the bitsy directory, there's a file called 'Booting101'
with instructions on how to get it up and running.

There are a lot of changes to the port/ directory, so updating
the bitsy code to a modern 9front will be a bit of work, but it
is probably doable.

good luck.
