FYI, I submitted patches to 9p.io (patch/create) to handle both of these differences, though I've been told that one of them doesn't apply cleanly because rmiller's raspberry pi images (which I used for this) are out of date. 9legacy won't install for me on vultr (the CD's 9fat gets mounted, instead of the install disk's, so of course copying the files to 9fat fails), so I don't have a machine to update them on, and I don't really want to spend *too* much time fighting 9legacy to get an up-to-date system to test on. I guess I should report a bug on 9fans.
