I see. Thank you guys, been waiting to try Plan 9 since a while, but I though my hardware was incapable of booting and running it. In fact I wanted to buy a Raspberry Pi to install Miller's build... Although I will get sooner or later a Rpi haha.

What file system do I need to install Plan 9? Fat32? NTFS? Ext2/3/4?

Fossil, cwfs, or hjfs.
