How do I go about editing the installation wiki if I don't have a
networked Plan 9 system? I would like to add the following:
'linux: to boot from a previously installed linux system, with plan 9
on the second (empty) hd drive: when asked to choose a boot method,
press (control + d).
Reboot to linux and add the following to the end of '/boot/grub/menu.lst' :
title plan 9
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
savedefault
makeactive
chainloader +1
Then reboot, and test the plan 9 option!

Having recently installed Plan 9, I had to do the not so difficult job
of transfering lilo specific instructions to grub from a web search.
was disappointed that the install didn't have any options for booting
with linux. Hopefully this may save someone the few minutes to work it
out or for guru's hours explaining how to do so;
Erik has mentioned p9p and kernels with 9p compiled in. I personally
would suggest the quick fix, which is to ask for an account on a
public Plan 9 server such as 9grid.de. Although the connection may be
slow, you can immediately use acme to edit the wiki. I would offer you
an account on my U.S. machine, but it's currently down for
upgrades/maintenance.
