> So what is the current "official" location to obtain the amd64 Plan 9?
Just to sum things up a little, the NIX repositories are:
Noah's original NIX repository:
https://bitbucket.org/npe/nix
Google Code repository:
http://code.google.com/p/nix-os/
Lsub repository:
http://lsub.org/ls/nix.html
Erik's repository, as part of 9atom:
ftp://ftp.quanstro.net/other/9atom.iso.bz2
The last two are the most up-to-date and the most
active currently is probably Erik's.
To make things easier for Plan 9 users, I also maintain
a patch which includes all the necessary bits from the
Lsub repository to be installed on a current Plan 9:

The AHCI driver depends on Erik's libfis, which you can
get from 9atom or this patch:
