I have evaded the problem thus far by using the win98 boot method, but I'd _really_ like to get grub to boot plan 9 directly. This is to a large extent a grub problem - but - without using the plan9 boot method (which wipes out the installed bootloader), the 9load , plan9.ini &ct. files are not on the 9fat partition at all! I tried to use grub to _find_ my 9load on the windoze partition but all i get is a "Inconsistent filesystem" error message from grub. Has anyone managed to get plan 9 booted from grub?
