That's a much more expensive and involved method than tacking on a little USB key, to which you've copied nvram data using `dd'.
ron's method above, with a simple `dd -if nvram -of /dev/sdU0.0/data' and three lines in plan9.ini did the trick. No rotating disks. The other problem is that my box has a rusty power supply that seems incapable of handling any IDE devices. Not sure what's going on at this point, really. But it does fine as a basic CPU server (more of an interface to Plan 9 from other OS's).
