Reinstalling from the CD seemed to see the existing plan9 partitions and
not rewrite 9fat or anything else.

Zeroing the entire partition and reinstalling, whilst crude, was quite
effective.

Now I'm back to this.

I can boot from a floppy.

I've installed the MBR that seems to have worked for me in the past, I
can select to boot either from my WinXP or Plan9 partition.  Windows
still works, Plan 9 goes through the following and then hangs.

Any suggestions on making the plan9 system boot from the harddisk?
