Well, 9atom did the trick this time, though the installer could not
mount the same medium (/dev/sdE1/data) from which it was booted off :(

The cdrecord/cdrtools 2.01.01a76-1 puked an error related to start
sector, but it burned the disk, which used for boot 9atom.

So I copied the iso image to a dos partition on /dev/sdE0, also needed
to rename it to plan9.iso, because installer does not recognize the
9atom.iso

Everything during the install worked fine, except for a lot of errors
related to some invalid uids on the iso.

Anyway, thanks lot for the great work; all Debian/XEN-dom0, Windows-7,
FreeBSD, Plan9 and Ubuntu desktop are working fine in AHCI mode now :)
