It certainly seems possible that your card could be made
to work. Try editing plan9.ini on the install floppy to
comment out mouseport and vgasize:
#mouseport=...
#vgasize=...
and then boot again. This time you'll get a shell prompt.
Run
pci
and let us know what the output is.
If you're impatient, you could try plugging the disk into
your motherboard controller. We only detect the motherboard
controllers by default -- the others need to be identified
explicitly.

You're all set. There are no VGA or VESA drivers.
