assuming that usb is your only problem, there's one
obvious but solvable problem.  the install cd's 9load
needs kbd input to boot.  this could be solved by
adding a menu timeout to the bootflop plan9.ini.

there are probablly other problems that aren't so
obvious.  but fixing this (which you can do without
a running plan 9 installation) would probablly get you far.
