Just an update, as a test, I was able to get a GCE VM running using the default script you sent. Here was the output:
tmendoza@pollux:~/Downloads/plan9$ gcloud compute instances get-serial-port-output plan9-test --zone us-central1-c SeaBIOS (version 1.8.2-20190122_225043-google) Total RAM Size = 0x000000006cc00000 = 1740 MiB CPUs found: 1 Max CPUs supported: 1 found virtio-scsi at 0:3 virtio-scsi vendor='Google' product='PersistentDisk' rev='1' type=0 removable=0 virtio-scsi blksize=512 sectors=20971520 = 10240 MiB drive 0x000f2a20: PCHS=0/0/0 translation=lba LCHS=1024/255/63 s=20971520 Booting from Hard Disk 0... pcirouting: BIOS workaround: PCI.0.1.3 at pin 1 link 96 irq 10 -> 9 no vga; serial console only disk loader cpu0: 2301MHz GenuineIntel P6 (cpuid: AX 0x306F0 DX 0x1F8BFBFF) ELCR: 0C00 497M memory: 497M kernel data, 0M user, 18M swap found partition #S/sd01/data 0 20,971,520 disks: sd01 trying sd01....found 9pccpuf .1178434...............................................................................................................................................+2414552.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................+489820=4082806 entry: 0xf0100020 Plan 9 E820: 00000000 0009fc00 memory E820: 0009fc00 000a0000 reserved E820: 000f0000 00100000 reserved E820: 00100000 6cbfd000 memory E820: 6cbfd000 6cc00000 reserved E820: fffbc000 100000000 reserved cpu0: 2302MHz GenuineIntel P6 (cpuid: AX 0x306F0 DX 0x1F8BFBFF) ELCR: 0C00 #l0: virtio: 1Gbps port 0xC040 irq 11: 42010a80000a 1740M memory: 256M kernel data, 1483M user, 2108M swap /boot/usbd: /dev/usb: no hubs /boot/usbd: /dev/usb: no hubs boot: can't open /srv/usb: '/srv/usb' file does not exist time... fossil(#S/sd01/fossil)...version...aux/randfs: '/bin/aux/randfs' does not exist downloading git starting buildlet script hget: Not found on server usage: hget [-dhv] [-o outfile] [-p body] [-x netmtpt] [-r header] url /tmp/buildlet: exec header invalid syncing.../srv/fscons...prompt: halting.../srv/fscons... prompt: done halting Specify --start=2092 in the next get-serial-port-output invocation to get only the new output starting from here. Now that I know it works, I will modify the script to build the server types I need and post those somewhere once done. Thanks again David!
