Hello Russ,

I determined the patition table was corrupted: Plan 9's partition thought it
was 29GB in size, which was definitely not the case! Reinstalling Plan9 on
the first partition (cylinders 0 - 251) resulted in a functional system.

Unfortunately I did all this before seeing your reply, and the original
plan9.ini's are gone.

FWIW, my first attempt had Plan9 on partition 3, which was supposed to extend
from cylinder 305 to cylinder 505. I had used the install diskette's
bootsetup program to configure a boot diskette and to allow the Plan9
partition to boot as well. The wrenwrite error occurred in both cases.
