man plan9.ini

as moody said, try this on a drive that isn't filled with stuff.
or run it in a vm. minus a (now patched) issue with hjfs in the 
installer that has already been mentioned, the installer does the right 
thing for a "supported" installation.

all these other hoops you're failing to jump through are of your own 
invention. there is a reason no one does single-drive multiboot like 
this, because it is not actually a supported configuration for any OS, 
just one of those things that can _sometimes_ be made to work.

on the other hand, 9front and most modern operating systems run just 
fine under qemu, virtualbox, vmware, vmd, and probably even hyperv and 
don't require all of this ridiculous crap. 15 (or more?) 
partitions/slices? this is just stupid. do stupid things, get stupid 
results.
