small suggesttion to the whipe part:

dev = /dev/sdXX
...

# remove sd partitions
awk '/^part/{if($2!="data"){print "delpart "$2}}' $dev/ctl >$dev/ctl

somehow, that code got garbled. theres dev/mbr and stuff that all
do not make any sense.

for the prep stuff... why not just create a single big dos partition
with disk/fdisk? or just check if its already formated with fat32
and just install the bootloader/kernel and copy the iso? (basicly
just disk/mbr and disk/format to install pbs)

we dont really need a plan9 partition table for this. 9bootfat is
perfectly capable of just sitting in a random dos partition.

the real problem i see is that disk/format doesnt format fat32.

i dont see how this script is usb related at all. all you need for
usb boot is make a fat filesystem with bootloader+kernel in it
on a harddrive.
