Correct. The last line has been truncated at the end of the block
so it has no newline, which is a syntax error.

It's ok to use fdisk to create more than one plan9 partition on a disk.
They'll appear as /dev/sd*/plan9, /dev/sd*/plan9.1 etc. Then you can
use prep to put some of your arenas on each plan9 partition, to avoid
overflowing the partition tables.
