Yes, I agree. That's my situation in most of my computers.

I'll also add one thing... iirc, in the installation there was only one 
step for setting the "loader". I could not clearly understand whether it 
installed a bootstrap loader in the partition, or the MBR loader. I 
think in plan9 there are two diferent steps for that (prep & mbr), and 
iirc those are not separate steps in the installation.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I won't reinstall soon to check it :)

Thank you,
Lluís
