It seems however that the focus of that thread was, from there on, on fixing this issue on a freshly installed plan9 system; the fact that the 'live' part of the iso isn't working either seems to have lost attention. Since this is the first thing many newcomers (including myself) are going to see, I guess it deserves a fix. Sorry for the noise if work is already being done on this. Greetings, Sander.
