1. Gee I really thought the plan9 installer complained that my MBR would not work with a 2 GB FAT32 partition followed by the plan9 partition, and offered to install a new one. My memory could be faulty. I have since switched to a 1 GB FAT32 to work around that.

2. BTW, the Parallels people responded to the request for 3 buttom mouse support.

"At the moment Parallels Desktop emulates a generic 2-button mouse with
scroller.It means that you won't be able to utilize your mouse's extra
features with Parallels Desktop.

Probably we will develop extra features support in the future."

Umm sounds like a response from a low level QA person. Perhaps I can contact the product manager.
