To avoid that problem the second time I re-installed _everything_
(win98, linux, freebsd, & plan9) on my quadruple boot machine, when
installing linux and using fdisk, I created a plan 9 partition ( type
0x39 if memory serves me right, don't rely on it until the number's
been confirmed). This partition was not formated, of course, linux
can't mkfs a plan 9 fs, but space was allocated - correctly sized.
Plan 9 installation had no problem using this partition.

Hope this helps,
Joel
