hi visof. this error is from an older version of 9bootfat,
that just checks the secsize field from the fat header. it
sounded like that boot worked fine prior installing of linux.
so i would suspect that 9bootfat looks at the wrong partition.
9bootfat only gets passed the drive. it finds the plan9 partition
by probing for a "active" marked partition that contains valid
fat header.
grub should have some option to mark the plan9 partition as
as active before chainloading to its pbs. i would try this next.
as an alternative, you could also just load the 9pcf kernel
directly in grub as we got multiboot header support with
plan9.ini is passed as initrd. but given the old error message,
your kernel might not support this option yet.
good luck.
