I'll take a look, but I'm afraid it's not going to help. I've already
tried NetBSD's MBR and Plan 9's MBR (using disk/mbr), and they both
don't fix the problem.
I've got the feeling that the problem has something to do with the
addressing that the Plan 9 partition's boot block uses (When I install
/386/pbslba it works, with /386/pbs it doesn't).
So why don't I just install /386/pbslba then? Because a week ago,
/386/pbs was working on this machine, and now all the sudden it isn't,
and I can't stand that I can't explain why...
Anyway, thanks for your suggestion, I'll give it a go and see if it helps.

Greetings, Sander.
