that's right, the radeon driver isn't in the default distribution so
it wouldn't have recognized your card at all..

there are a few options for you to try: one is to run the vga dumper
code (available from the additional software page) under a different
OS, find the VID/DID pairs or memory which can be plugged in vgadb,
plug them in vgadb and recreate the cd.  another is to install on a
different laptop and switch the hard drive over, the third is to
install from a floppy without vga...

once you get plan9 on the laptop recompiling the kernel for your card
to work should be easy.

My work based on late David Hogan has a problem to detect it's running
on LCD, and I have no good idea how to fix it right yet (Any suggestion
is welcome).   So, it may be good for you to try David's orignal driver 
for your laptop.  I'm not sure it may work or not though.

I replied (I thought so at least) this, however, I've not find it.
I'll try again.

My i81x driver for LCD has some problem to recognize that now LCD
is beeing selected, I know the document, and I thought I did it right...
Anyway, in such case try original late David Hogan's i81x.c.   I'm all
the ear if anyone has solution to this problem.
