Reinstalling from the CD seemed to see the existing plan9 partitions and
not rewrite 9fat or anything else.

Zeroing the entire partition and reinstalling, whilst crude, was quite
effective.

Installation all went smoothly, partitions of 9fat, nvram, fossil and swap. I selected "plan9" as the boot method and it replaced my MBR as expected.

Now I'm back to this.

I can boot from a floppy.

I've installed the MBR that seems to have worked for me in the past, I
can select to boot either from my WinXP or Plan9 partition.  Windows
still works, Plan 9 goes through the following and then hangs.

MBR...PBS...Plan 9 from Bell Labs
ELCR: 0800
apm ax=f000 cx=f000 dx=40 di=ffff ebx=43b3 esi=-1
dev A0 port 1F0 config 045A capabilities 0F00 mwdma 0007 udma 041F


Any suggestions on making the plan9 system boot from the harddisk?
