I had similar problems in an otherwise slick installation on top of 3e.

I think the first two lines of plan9.ini on a boot floppy are what cleared
the problem.
Of course you'll want to use sdXX appropriate to your setup.

root=local!#S/sdD0/fs
bootfile=sdD0!9fat!9pcdisk
bootdisk=local!#S/sdD0/fs
*nomp=1
distname=plan9
partition=new
#console=0
scsi0=type=aha1542 port=0x330
ether0=type=NE2000 port=0x1020 irq=5
monitor=multisync75
vgasize=800x600x8
mouseport=ps2
installurl=http://204.178.31.2/magic/9down4e/compressed/1020197808.2wg3i6yb9
