In this case, I'd recommend repartitioning with plain linux fdisk and
reserve a partition for plan9 using it (Set partition type to plan9,
you can check the number using built-in help IIRC), then during plan9
installation just choose that partition and tell plan9 fdisk to don't
write anything.

And somebody ought to make plan9 bootable from something other than
primary partition (The same problem I have with Solaris 10. I could
use those 70 GB of hdd in my school computer, but there are not enough
primary partition numbers left for it's disklabel...)
