The first four steps is exactly how I installed 9atom. My edit to plan9.ini
added bootargs, mouseport, removed user=

Then a reboot and 'mk install' in /sys/src/ resulted in a working amd64
system for me.

One issue is networking - to successfully get a dhcp lease I have to use
generic dhcp options ( ip/ipconfig -G ) That could be a specific quirk to
my network.
