Good day.

There is an experimental ISO at 9grid.de[0], for testing, if VESA works
or not. It can be booted as LiveCD used for trying out Plan 9. The other
possibility is to use Drawterm[1] for connecting to 9grid and so try out
Plan 9 as user. Booting Plan 9 from the FreeBSD bootloader should work,
as there is a standard bootloader in the 9fat partition, in the Plan 9
installation, the ATA HDD should be supported by now and can be seen on
the CD boot, by the "dev A* ..." lines after "ELCR: ...". Each of them
is a IDE device, that was found.

Sincerely,

Christoph
