Ok, turns out all the problems were coming from my hdd in SATA mode, seems like it's not supported by plan9 yet...
The iso boots fine if I switch the drive to ide compat mode in the bios. Of course, that means if I want sata when booting on linux (which is also installed on that machine) I need to switch it back again everytime. :/ Any chance of SATA for that drive to be supported in the near future on plan9? Also I'd like your opinions on sata vs pata please? Like, is operating the hdd in compat mode in Linux a big loss compared as if operated in AHCI mode? Do I loose speed for example?
