Booting F9 on XO?

Now that we have F10 booting on the XO, and we understand the
challenges around that, is it possible to boot a barebones F9,
"backporting" whatever cleverness was applied to F10?

  Is anyone interested in trying? It would open an opportunity
  to lots of small schools that need a rugged server.

The XS is likely to stay on F9 for a couple of minor releases -- until
I find a good opportunity for a rebase, being a small team is hard :-/
-- so if F9 can be twisted into booting off and SD card, we get a
valuable alternative in the form of XO + SD card + USB drive (for
storage).

cheers,
