I do something along those lines. I use a sh script to boot from the iso and bind a sysfromiso repository and usr/ from my home directory. You could use bin/9vxp in the repository if that's good enough for you or, in any case, look at it for inspiration on how to use the -i flag. If you prefer, you can use a .ini file and set initargs there, instead of using -i. Read the 9vx man page (included in the repository and also at https://bytebucket.org/yiyus/vx32/wiki/9vx.html). -- - yiyus || JGL .
