What is the error you are getting when trying to boot plan9?

I cannot say anything about solaris, but can you try booting plan 9
from the disk without using a boot manager? If plan9 is installed on a
boot partition, you can try booting straight from the disk on which it
installed and see if that works.

If it does not, you might want to try making the plan9 disk a primary
master if it is IDE. I had a problem booting from my hard disk till a
week ago. I solved it by making the plan9 disk a primary master..
