I have been running PBS off the USB stick the whole time.  It's the
step from 9load to the kernel which isn't working.  9load isn't able
to find plan9.ini or the kernel I tell it on the USB stick - it
doesn't even seem to be able to see the USB stick at all.

But your point stands: PBS is using the USB stick via the BIOS.  There is hope.
