sounds like we're screwing up reading the keyboard, i.e., we're
seeing a continuous stream of characters in 9load.
It also seems like we're finding a different plan9.ini than
you included in the message. The Selection: prompt appears
only if you have a [menu] directive in the plan9.ini. I forget
the exact ordering of where we get plan9.ini from these days.
I do know that we look first on the floppy, and then in some
order on the DOS partition for the hard disk and in the 9fat
partition on the hard disk. Do you have another plan9.ini
hiding somewhere from a previous version of plan 9?

I had R3 installed in a Dell Inspiron 3500 laptop. When I created a
floppy and booted it, I got a continous stream of console messages of
the format: "Selection: line to long"
right after 2 "pc routing" messages. I got a new floppy, rewrote the
install floppy, booted fine. Completed the install, made a boot disk,
and set the system to boot plan9 from hard drive.
When I reooted, I got the same messages as above, either booting from
the hard drive or boot disk. Has anyone seen this before? Any
suggestions? I suspected my plan9.ini file, but did not see anything
very obvious.
