that's quite wierd.  can you reproduce this error?

if so, can you try running fdisk and prep by hand
and seeing if the output makes sense?  also, one
can compare the first sector of the disk with the
mbr and the first sector of the plan 9 partition
with pbs.  they should be the same, modulo the
bits that disk/mbr fiddle.
