Have you tried an installation (not an update!) with the actual
CD-edition ( I think it is the third edition) of plan9?
a third edition CD would be quite old and quite different as
regards both the file system implementation (kfs instead of fossil/venti)
and more important disk/fdisk and friends, which partition the disk.
the current plan 9 is fourth edition.
I downloaded the CD last week from
http://cm.bell-labs.com/plan9/download.html. The text on the page tells:
"This is the distribution for the Fourth Edition of Plan 9. It contains
source of the kernel, libraries, and commands for all supported
architectures. It also contains complete binaries for the x86
architecture. See the release notes for information about what’s new in
this release."
So it is clear I experimented with the fourth edition and fossil/venti
Sorry for my mistake!
