the number, e.g., 1040, is the pid of the fdisk process.
the pc unfortunately is not valid.  it is beyond the end
of the text segment.

	; acid /n/sources/plan9/386/bin/disk/fdisk
	/n/sources/plan9/386/bin/disk/fdisk:386 plan 9 executable
	[...]
	acid: end
	0x00016048

could you send the output of
	; cat /dev/sdC0/ctl
you can get an rc prompt by typing !rc at the installer
prompt.
