Subject: can't boot plan9 on a stand_alone PC?

when you see the 'boot from: ' prompt does it give a list of boot devices
on the previous line? if so, what does it give?
you can copy (under dos) the 9dos file from the floppy to c: then do
c:\plan9\b hd!0!9dos
which will get you up and able to look at the hard discs to see what
went wrong. sounds like the boot partition was overwritten.

- The system:
a PC compatiable with a Pentium735 chip, and 853 MB IDE drive.
Made a partition of 80 MB (C drive) and DOS formatted, leaving
the rest of the hard disk to plan9.
- How the problem started:
plan9 runs perfectly until I added additional hard disks and then
did partitions from C:\ using fdisk of DOS command.
- Symptom:
when run plan9 from DOS, c:\plan9\b.com, get error message on screen,
.bad majic 0xf6xxxxxx not a plan 9 executable!
boot from:
- Question:
How to recover?
I would appreciate any hints!
