Before you go replacing your controller, read the very end of the install.html.  
It states if you have problems that you should not boot from disk1, but instead 
boot DOS then run b.com from the disk1 floppy.  I tried this and now have Plan 9 
up and running on the Compaq Prolinea.  

Still haven't figured out the exception/interrupt 14 problem on the npc i486, I 
assume the motherboard chip set is not compatable.
