I've been having a similar issue with the latest install CD where I can boot from the CD but it is not recognzied. Just out of curiosity, could you try an older one and see what happens? I think my "working" bootable image is from January '04.

Hi, How to install: My Laptop won't allow both a CD and a floppy drive. The CD controller is somehow not recognized despite booting from the CD! It recognizes the floppy drive despite it not being there... Anyway... I can use use the floppy drive to boot from for the install. I need to get some feedback regarding the order of install. Since I can't store the image on CD and use the floppy at the same time; Is there any advantage to using cfdisk to set the available primary partition for Plan 9 in advance of the floppy install? What happens when it finds an existing Plan 9 partition? Will/would the "partdisk" step do this "automatically" ie prompting for the necessary partitions? If I interrupted the install at that point (after the partitioning but prior to loading the image)could I theoretically put/copy the Plan9.iso image into the Plan 9 partition.. is there any benefit to that? Should I put the image somewhere on the HDD (a Primary Fat32, Primary F-BSD, an log/ext linux reiserfs)and mount this at that stage in the install? Should I wait and see what the install will prompt for available media.. interrupt if necessary..copy the media there) and resume the install?
