did you install in a partition located
more than 8GB into the disk?

nope, it's a 20Gb ide and plan9 has it all, auto partitioned
9fat 0- 20482 (10Mb)
fs 20482 - 39781066 (18.95Mb)
nvram 39781066 - 39781067 (521 B)
swap 39781067 - 39857202 (37.17Mb)
It worked just fine with the same setup for Aug2000 CD Distribution -
which I'm currently installing again to see if the hard disk has
broken in the meantime 8)

I've seen that more times than I care to recall;
in my case it has always been associated with installing
any form of Plan 9 boot *other* than partition boot.
Of course, partition boot will lose your other OS
boot, but since I'm using System Commander I can fix
that by booting a rescue floppy and re-initing SC.

the eurostar is a deathtrap.
my contract states i cannot work for anybody else (ie. no payment).
i have a slight firefight here to deal with first.
£100? nope. £1000/day.

Hullo 9fans,
So I abandoned my update plan and thought ah well, I'll just
download the latest version and start again, I've not really done
anything yet so I won't lose much.
It all goes swimmingly until I reboot the fresh install :
MBR...PBS...Bad format or I/O error
Press almost any key to reboot...
If I send £100 to Boyd maybe he'll jump on Eurostar and come shoot
me and put me out of my misery.
Anyone got a better idea?
