i think you mean "sdC0!dos!9pcflop.gz".

you will need two partitions to boot plan 9.  the dos partion can be about
10mb since all you need in this partition is a pbs, 9load, plan9.ini and kernel.
the plan9 partition should be at least 300mb.  all normal plan 9 files go in 
this partition.

i believe you can create these partitions in advance and just tell the partitioning
step of the installer to use them.  or you can leave some unpartitioned space
and let the installer find it.  this man page may be helpful

hope this helps
