Please make an announce on it, when you'll finish :)
Sorry, but as i've already said, i'm a Plan 9 newbie.
All the Plan 9 @ Kirkwood tutorials i've found assist only on
netboot methods. Maybe someone could add USB boot part?
Here for example:

No need, thanks, i know how.

Usbd and partfs are enabled in standard Plan 9 "plug" kernel, so
should be no problem there.
I have a USB flash drive with written Plan 9 "rpi" image over there,
thought an OS doesn't show any signs that it was recognized.
