the simplest is to setup an auth+fs box (could be a VM), and then PXE or bootp/tftp boot a diskless "terminal" kernel. if the device is to run a "cpu" kernel, then some sort of nvram is needed to hold the host owner's credentials.

I have seen some tips here and there about installing Plan 9 on a disk-less computer but are there any guides? I have an eee pc 1000h and I am interested in installing Plan 9. Whether it will be the standard installation, 9atom, or something else is not very important. I just want to try Plan 9 on a non-vm environment.
