i hope you meant
	venti/conf -w /dev/sdC0/arenas <venti.conf

have you also done a similar thing for fossil
	fossil/conf -w /dev/sdC0/fossil
giving your (initial) fossil configuration on the standard input,
perhaps from an existing file.

otherwise, /boot will assume you've got a kfs installation, not fossil[+venti]
bootdisk seems to be set correctly, by default in pccpuf, so i don't think you
need any more plan9.ini variables.  you do need the conf data in both fossil and venti.
mind you, if you've got the partition(s) but not the configuration(s),
it ought to have complained about
`no fossil config found ...' or `no venti config found ...'
