a 9front iso release contains all the code for all the architecturs.
however, the iso *only* contains the *binaries* for i386. this is
due to size limitations, lack of hardware to test and people running
not on different architectures. it is not hard to compile everything tho.
all plan9 compilers are cross compilers, all you need todo is:

cd /sys/src
objtype=arm mk install

building the right kernel and bootloaders are highly specific to
your machine. theres no standartization or bios like in the pc world.

and theres no amd64 kernel yet in plan9 or 9front, but the secret plan9
secret secret society (sp9sss) has a separate project called nix which
develops a plan9 derivate for amd64 on secret super computers.
