It has the partitions that the install CD offered to create, in the size 
and order that it created them.  There's a 16G NTFS and a 3G plan9 
partition, with the plan9 partition divided up to include 9fat.

term% disk/fdisk -p /dev/sdC0/data
part ntfs 63 33264000
part plan9 33264000 39070080

term% disk/prep -p /dev/sdC0/plan9
part 9fat 33264000 33468800
part nvram 33468800 33468801
part fossil 33468801 38021504
part swap 38021504 39070080

Booting off the floppy it states that it is using the plan9.ini from the 
9fat subpartition, and then the fossil system.
