I've tried again and it worked by using a dynamically sized hd of 3 GB ad
using a 2 GB fossil partition starting at cylinder 1

Don't ask me why it worked for a while (some minutes) and than crashed with
similar messages.

I suppose I've done it right, but I'm not sure.
A similar procedure worked on QEMU, but it's by far slower.


If you managed to get a Plan9 working Microsoft Virtual PC please tell me
the procedure you used, the hd settings, the partitions and how you
configured the mbr...

Thanks a lot!
