okay new problem. I think this is where I need to manually copy over the boot files etc.
9reform.u and boot.scr
Setup Plan 9 FAT boot partition (9fat)
Plan 9 FAT partition (/dev/sdU7b121/9fat)[/dev/sdU7b121/9fat]:
usage: basename [-d] string [suffix]
% dd -bs 512 -count 1 -if /dev/sdU7b121/9fat -of /tmp/pbs.bak
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
Initializing Plan 9 FAT partition.
% disk/format -r 2 -d -b /n/newfs/386/pbs -l PLAN9 /dev/sdU7b121/9fat
format: open /n/newfs/386/pbs: '/n/newfs/386/pbs' does not exist
% mount -c /srv/dos /n/9fat /dev/sdU7b121/9fat
mount: mount /n/9fat: unknown format
% rm -f /n/9fat/9bootfat /n/9fat/plan9.ini

cp: can't create /n/9fat/plan9.ini: '/n/9fat/plan9.ini' create prohibited
./bootsetup:96: null list in concatenation
