It's good to see Plan 9 running on EPIA - I think the small size and silent
running should make it a useful board.  Can the rhine driver (and video if
it's working) be made available?

Is 10-11 seconds to boot really that remarkable?  How long does the normal
BIOS and 9load take on the same setup?  After making two small tweaks to
9load, I find my thinkpad t21 goes from power-off to rc prompt in 14 seconds.
Adding grub (to allow multi booting) only takes it to 15.
