managed to install cleanly after doing a 'dd -if /dev/zero -of /dev/sdC0/data' to the disk. however i'm still seeing interesting issues:
- 9pcf doesn't initialize the display properly, the cd boot does - keyboard works only sporadically, well it works roughly one time out of 10 at the 'root is from' prompt with both 9pccd and 9pcf kernels. the interesting thing here is that it works fine during the install or even at the plan9 startup menu at this point i still don't have a working plan 9 installation so forgive me for not being able to debug properly :(
