+so yeah.
+i've got a rpi 3.
+i'm writing this on that.
+
+i haven't seen a computer that small, and it shipped with a box.
+neat stuff, haven't got a computer with a box in a long while.
+
+
+i had an 9front pi image around, wrote that to my 16GB sdcard.
+god, that took hours to complete.
+
+finally, plugged all cables and things works, lights turn on.
+damn, this thing boots fast, problaly magic of having no BIOS
+cool, i said, while looking at Plan 9 console screen, 1024x768
+
+it asks me which device to use, local!/dev/sdN0/fs is offered as the default
+x230's mmc showed up in /dev/sdM0, but i guess this one is different.
+
+after asking for user it has started booting, starting /bin/rc
+
+...
+...
+it's stuck there for few minutes.
+
+maybe some device is poorly behaving, i disconnect usb devices
+and it works. :)
+
+it took me few more times to figure out the issue from my audio usb card
+it doesn't system go past termrc, but if i connect it afterwards, things work ok.
+
+expect they don't.
+audio over usb doesn't work.
+
+it seems pi 3 had a poor usb design, it doesn't feed enough power to my devices.
+
+oh well.
+sucks.
+cool computer otherwise, unless you are compiling stuff.
+then it's hot.
