I had the same problem on an Shuttle AMD64 machine with a 200 GB hard
drive. I'd recommend upgrading your BIOS first. Then if you still have
the same problem, then try my suggestion below.
The error message that I received occurred just before the
[bootsetup]: prompt. My believe it or not fix is to start the install
with a current plan9 CD, then paused the installation one prompt
before where the error message occured and go to work for 9 hours.
Then come back and continued the installation. The remainder of the
install for me was error free. This worked fine for a Plan 9 install.
Now, that is strangest Plan 9 trick that I've had to do yet, but it
worked. YMMV. ;)
