with a complicated partition arrangement, i would run the partitioning
part of the installation by hand. (you can always open a new rio window
during install.) i've never attempted to dual boot plan 9 -- it
has always seemed an unnecessiary complication to me.
prep(8) should have information you'll need to (sub)partition things
by hand.
another option, if you have a spare disk is to put the plan 9 boot
partition (you only need <100MB) on one disk and put all the other
plan 9 stuff on a raw disk -- that is, one with no dos partition table.
as outlined in the manual pages, the plan 9 boot partition needs to
contain a pbs, 9load, plan9.ini, and your kernel.
also, you could create a boot cd image to boot into plan 9. i've
built such a beast, but it's painful and i don't have the details
handy.
