That USB image is built with the older 9load(8) bootstrap which doesn't
work with newer hardware - the symptom is exactly the message you're
seeing. The newer nboot(8) bootstrap from 9front is available on 9legacy
nowadays. I don't know whether a usb 9legacy image with nboot is available
anywhere; if you have another running 9legacy system you could build one 
yourself.
