Good day. There is an experimental ISO at 9grid.de[0], for testing, if VESA works or not. It can be booted as LiveCD used for trying out Plan 9. The other possibility is to use Drawterm[1] for connecting to 9grid and so try out Plan 9 as user. Booting Plan 9 from the FreeBSD bootloader should work, as there is a standard bootloader in the 9fat partition, in the Plan 9 installation, the ATA HDD should be supported by now and can be seen on the CD boot, by the "dev A* ..." lines after "ELCR: ...". Each of them is a IDE device, that was found.
Sincerely, Christoph [0] http://www.9grid.de/plan9/plan9vesa.iso.bz2 [1] http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~mirtchov/p9/ (drawterm-*.gz)
