  I've just downloaded plan 9, made the disk, burnt the 50mb file to an
  iso9660 CD, and each time I boot the floppy, I get a different problem.
  Last time, it was "exception/interrupt 14", this time, it's stalling
  after saying "dev A0 port 170 config 8080 capabilities 0700 mwdma
  0007".  Any ideas?

If you have a network card configured, disable it
by removing the ether0 line in a:\plan9.ini.
I had some problems similar to ones you describe
when using a 3c905 that the driver hadn't seen before:
it was treating it as an earlier card, and spinning waiting
for a bit to clear that never would.

Typing ^t ^t p (ctl-t, ctl-t, p) during the stall may
print the kernel's version of ps (if interrupts aren't
disabled).
