start with
disk/fdisk -p /dev/sd??/data
disk/prep -p /dev/sd??/plan9
dd -count 1 /dev/sd??/plan9 -count 1 | md5sum
dd -if plan9 -count 1 | strings
> should see something like
3: Plan9.00
43: CYLINDRICALFAT16
438: Bad format or I/O error
463: Press a key to reboot...
488: 9LOAD
500: PBS2...
you may need to open a new window to do this.
