9front on pinephone is actually a project I'm interested in. I checked
out some details:
The pinephone boot loader can boot from ext4 partition, so it seems
possible. We'd have to use some ext4 filesystem (eg the one made by
sigrid) and add it to the boot filesystem.
With a bit of luck (and proper arm compatibility) we can then get a
9front pinephone booting, maybe even with some screen. I expect many
things to not work (networking, touchscreen, WAN and lots of other phone
hardware stuff), but if we get the base system running and some
networking we already have something usable.
The most complex task is designing a proper plan 9-worthy touchscreen
interface and developing apps for that.
