Yes - but much more simple. Ron Minnich has THNX (tiny horrible not
xen) which is essentially a USB flash-stick pacakged boot environment
for Plan 9 running on top of lguest under Linux with full graphics,
network, etc. What you want to do is replicate that without the flash
disk and using your underlying Linux (assuming you have or can upgrade
to a kernel which has lguest). There was a presentation and paper at
the last IWP9 discussing it. Perhaps Ron can point us at the most
recent repository of all his stuff.
