Hello,

Well, I'm not a guru, but I was about where you were a few days ago,
and completing the installation has made me pick up a few things.

What do you mean by that you have an "empty" partition at the end of
the drive?  If you run fdisk, it should show "free space".  Plan 9
puts it's own partition table at the end of the drive, and has nothing
to do with the PC partitioning conventions.  I.e., it does not look at
the partitions you created with FDISK, it only looks for free space.
(Maybe this is the problem with your 486DX2?)

Staffan
