I thought it best to use the original plan9.ini file, so it looks like this.
I have the ever present ATI Rage Pro II card.

i don't know which chipset the Rage II Pro uses.
there should be a file vgainfo.txt on the floppy.
what does it contain?
also, i'd try reducing the vgasize to vgasize=640x480x8 for installation
since there is slightly less to go wrong with that, and try again.

that possibly means that the svga/xvga graphics hasn't been set
up correctly.  which video adapter are you using?
i also wonder whether it has left the aux/vga output on the floppy.

I should have added that control-P will reboot, so it looks as though
the boot program hasn't crashed, it just doesn't do anything.
