If you are using a modern version of 9vx (rminnich's repository at
bitbucket) you don't need to copy the contents of the iso, you can
just run 9vx with -r 9front.iso.

That sounds very interesting! I packaged 9vx in AUR ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=49816) and tried to put up a wiki ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/9vx). I have done some rather stupid suggestions about how to deal with permissions and other stuff like that...

What I would like to know is if you can boot a plan9 system from iso via 9vx as "persistent" partition whereas changes are saved to another directory (so basically setting up a union mount between the iso and a directory) - alternatively specifying an alternative path for $home using 9vx booting from an iso.
