The syntax you are using is wrong, you should be typing

	a p2  7265 7296

(no square brackets), however this will overlap Partition 1
which fdisk will not allow.

You would need to truncate the HPFS partition to give
more space for plan9 to use. I beleive there is some software
which will allow you to truncate a windows partitions however
I have never done this.
