In my experience, that is precisely the reason why you should follow  
erik's suggestion and disable that non-existent floppy in bios.

More to the point, you can boot with an older iso image; I've been  
using my 10/12 burn for exactly that purpose. Once you have a plan 9  
system up, you have access to pull(1) and sourcesdump/yyyy/mmdd/ 
plan9/386/9load to do your testing of the (several, lately) new 9load  
on your hardware, and a bootable cd with a known-good 9load when you  
fail.

My follow-on question for the list based on my experience with that  
general procedure is: Is there anywhere to get an old iso image for  
someone in Eldanen's situation? (That is, neither an old burn to fall  
back on nor an existing plan9 machine to use to get an old 9load from  
sourcesdump to make a bootstrap for his new machine?)
