Okay, now plan9 is working on my laptop, here is how I did it: I made a primary partition for plan9 in lunix, then I used fdisk to set the partition type to plan9 (this is the only partitioning program that know plan9 type partitions).
After this all went pretty easily, I installed the standard way from cdrom, I just didn't do any partitioning as that was already done. For the bootsetup step I selected plan9 way of booting, and at the question wether to install plan9 loader to the MBR I answered No. Now I can boot plan9 on the primary partition #1 from grub like so: title Plan9 from outer space root (hd0,0) chainloader +1 boot Thanks for all the replies, and all the suggestions. Cheers to all plan9 users! I there's any plan9 users in Hungary, I'd be very happy to meet them!
