My openrd (same as a plug) has a 500 GB USB hard drive ($50 from Frys; I was using a flash drive but ventifmt made it die) and I'm working to a hands-off booting. I changed the boot environment variables to default to booting from 9fat on the disk, and that gets me to Plan 9. I don't understand why you think this is not hands-off? Currently things don't work out so well when I boot :-) But I have not touched it for a bit. > =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0Stealth CPU server/AUTH server I don't want to have an outward-facing OSX or Linux.
