What might be helpful, or rather when I eventually took the install docs
literally, is NOT to format the partition you intend to put Plan9 on,
otherwise it thinks it hasnt got one and will come back with the message
about not enough free space.

 I've seen mentioned that Plan9 goes okay on laptops-and although not
 after specific vendor endorsements (:) any got any suggestions for a nice
 off the shelf laptop that it'll go okay on?, and further to which---SCSI
