Thanks for the response cinap, maybe if I become experienced with 9front I could attempt to fix it someday, for now, could you point me to the USB image I should use? Am i just flashing the rpi image on a usb drive or is there another iso i need to use?

regards,

there is no bootloader. what you'r looking at is the booted kernel
and a rc script asking you for the root filesystem. you can enter
a shell by typing !rc.

theres some mmc controller issues on the pi400. i do not have a pi400 myself,
but someone had on the mailinglist and we managed to get at least the xhci
working with some remote troubleshooting. but then he vanished, so this is
still a open issue.

you can try using usb or network boot for now. the pi400 and pi4 should
be quite similar... tho they shuffled the physical memory map around a bit.
but i have no theory at this point. it is too long ago.
