+At installation time if you see something like the following:
+
+
+
+ /dev/sdE0: M4-C5064M4SSD2
+ /dev/sdE0/data
+ /dev/sdE0/plan9
+
+ term% inst/start
+
+ ...
+
+ The following Plan 9 disk partitions were found.
+
+ /dev/sdE0/plan9
+
+ Plan 9 partition to subdivide (/dev/sdE0/plan9)[/dev/sdE0/plan9]:
+
+
+ This is disk/prep; use it to subdivide the PLan 9 partition.
+ If it is not yet subdivided, a sensible layout will be suggested;
+ you can probably just type 'w' and then 'q'.
+
+ there's a fat partition where the
+ plan 9 partition table would go.
+ If you really want to overwrite it, zero
+ the second sector of the disk adn try again
+
+
+% dd -if /dev/zero -of /dev/sdE0/data -count 50000
+
+That will wipe out the first sectors of the disk and allow Plan 9 to continue installation.
