Yes, here's some examples:

% cat /n/c:/autoexec.bat:

@ECHO OFF
GOTO %config%

:plan9
C:\PLAN9\LD.COM sdC0!dos!plan9/9load
GOTO end

:dos
GOTO end

:windows
C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\DOSKEY.COM

SET Path=C:\PROGRA~1\THINKPAD\UTILIT~1;

REM The following line creates the hibernation file.
if not exist C:\save2dsk.bin C:\PROGRA~1\THINKPAD\UTILIT~1\phdisk /c /f <C:\PROGRA~1\THINKPAD\UTILIT~1\yes

Rem The following line is no longer needed.  It may be deleted.
If Exist C:\MFGBOOTI.REG   C:\WINDOWS\REGEDIT C:\MFGBOOTI.REG
win

:end

% cat /n/c:/config.sys
[menu]
MENUITEM=plan9, Plan 9
MENUITEM=windows, Windows 98
MENUITEM=dos, DOS

[dos]

[plan9]

[windows]

[common]

Also, you need to have the two lines
	Logo=0
	BootGUI=0
in c:\msdos.sys (it's hidden and read-only so you have to change the
attributes).

Is there any way to manually setup Plan 9 as a Win9x boot option?

The primary drive on my system is an Ultra-100 DMA drive, and requires
a special card (by Promise Technology) to run on this system. The Plan
9 installer cannot see this drive. Plan 9 was installed on an older
IDE drive, the primary slave, which is plugged into the primary IDE
bus. I tried setting Plan 9 as a win9x boot option, but the installer
couldn't see my boot drive, so that didn't work. Is there any way I
can set this up manually? I tried creating a boot disk, but it didn't
work, either.

This is my second Plan 9 system, and I'm hoping to network the two
together.
