Please note my previous message: fd0 appears (this is a "floppy") since
the BIOS supporting El Torito (boot from CDROM in short) presents a
virtual floppy that points to the floppy image embedded in the CDROM.
So please at least try my previous tips:
1) Let your already allocated primary partitions, including swap (reput
it as swap) alone;
2) Use Linux fdisk(8) to flag the second partion as a Plan 9, active;
3) Save the MBR somewhere;
4) Boot from CDROM and when 9load asks for a bootfile enter:
fd0!9pcflop.gz /* idem as fd0!dos!9pcflop.gz */
or whatever kernel is on the floppy image (embedded in the CDROM; shall
be the same as the one you copied).
5) Normal installation here follow carefully the steps.
