Well, after zeroing the partition, I installed a fossil-only system.
Upon first boot, the system begins giving me similar i/o errors, and the
file system hangs.

This is odd, because I did "dd" reads and writes of the entire Plan 9
partition FROM the Plan 9 installer.  The partition can be read/written
from the installer, but not from the installed system.  So... what
difference between the install system and the installed system could be
responsible for this?  (Venti is no longer part of the equation.)
