This sounds like your video setting is not quite correct. I am assuming you
essentially got a third of the screen triplicated across your display. I saw
something like that with installing onto VMWare a long while back.

You can try and set the video to be VESA, monitor=vesa in the plan9.ini
file, I think. Haven't looked at that in ages. But maybe someone else on the
list can point out more details.
