I've tried again and it worked by using a dynamically sized hd of 3 GB ad using a 2 GB fossil partition starting at cylinder 1
Don't ask me why it worked for a while (some minutes) and than crashed with similar messages. I suppose I've done it right, but I'm not sure. A similar procedure worked on QEMU, but it's by far slower. If you managed to get a Plan9 working Microsoft Virtual PC please tell me the procedure you used, the hd settings, the partitions and how you configured the mbr... Thanks a lot!
