If you try Erik's 9atom ISO, you may have better luck.  It'd be nice if the
9load changes he made were already rolled up into the standard ISO, but I
guess they haven't made it yet?

Also there's a project to boot plan 9 from plan 9 without 9load, but I've
sort of lost track of where that is.  I believe it was showing signs of
great success though :-)
