ok - this boots and launches into the installer.
I need to back track and free up some disk space, I'll report back
when i've accomplished that

Just dd it to a USB flash drive and try booting from it.

The image that I have is equivalent to the Plan9 floppy disk. You need
to have the content of the distribution copied somewhere on the hard
disk, or install from the network.

Booting from a USB flash drive is possible (if the BIOS supports
booting from USB), but a bit tricky. I had to make few small changes
in 9load. I have an image somewhere, if anybody is interested in
trying it I can try to find it.

You can install from a local fat partition if you put the plan9.iso file
in the partition - don't unpack it, just put the single big file there
and the installer scripts will allow you to chose it as a source for the
full install.
A bigger problem is you have to boot the installer kernel, normally
the install_notes page mentions that you can install with a local fat
partition, but doesn't give any particulars.
I'll be happy to put together a wiki page if someone can walk me through
the procedure
thanks,
Ben
