I've gotten part of the way there. I set up a 9fat on the first partition and I can boot the kernel from u-boot with the 9fat.

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.

The plug really needs fully hands-off booting and this does not seem = to
be the direction you're heading. =A0I suppose my approach where the fil= e

for an auth server.

What are the various eventual uses for a plug running P9? =A0I can think of=

=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0Stealth CPU server/AUTH server
=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0ARM development system (where's Go?)

Can't think of anything else, but I'm not great on the imagination = thing.

I'm particularly fragmented now, but soon I'll want to focus on onl= y a few
