I've been looking into it a bit more today. It actually seems to be quite stuck. I get as far as the 'live usb' boot, with glenda, rio, acme etc starting up. The "plan 9 install" screen and its live log are there. While working through the install the only disk appears to be /dev/sdu0. This is ~4G

Hey guys, I was going to sit down and build my raspberry pi file-server today but I've just came into ownership of an Acer Revo L80. I've been given it for free because it is broken. After the usual diagnostics it looks like the RAM chip is dead >~400MB. I'm thinking this may make a good CPU/Auth
