Can you give more details on the problem hardware, e.g. what discs
there are?
Do you have a USB floppy?

Your original message said
On booting from floppy I get:
PBS...
apm ax.................
using fd0!dos!plan9.ini
dev A0............
dev B0............
dev A0...............
dev B0................
then nothing else.
so you have 4 devices on the ATA controllers, I'm guessing
2 hard discs, a CD-ROM and something else. What?
Also, which brand of SCSI controller?

2 IDE discs. There is also a SCSI controller, but there are no hard discs on
it.

No.

I've got my hands on an old HP machine. When I plug in the plan 9
boot floppy on that machine it correctly gives me the "boot from" prompt.
I wonder, does that point to plan 9 not supporting more modern hardware
since as I reported it fails on my newer (year old) machine.
