I understand and agree with Russ's point here; but it's still a useful
option for someone who wants to add Plan 9 to a system which already has
grub.  For example, I bought a T21 with Linux pre-installed as a way of
avoiding the Microsoft Tax.  After setting up a 9fat partition with pbslba,
I just had to add this to the grub menu.lst file:

title = brazil
root = (hd0,5)
chainloader = +1
