I've tried again and it worked by using a dynamically sized hd of 3

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...
I just did everything with the default settings, which made me wonder.
I tried it out on a couple other machines, with varying success.
Certain machines worked fine, others had issues. I'm not sure why it
varies.
Thanks a lot!

Hello 9fans!
I've tried to install Plan 9 on a 64 bit Windows 7 using Virtual PC,
since I've read that a related bug was fixed and noone tried it.
I just announced it worked like 2 weeks ago.
Actually, after the fourth tentative (after creating a fossil
partition a bit smaller than the fixed size hd) I got rc starting by
logging with the glenda user.
BUT, after the rio start I got the attached error.
I never had any problems starting up Plan 9 with rio, heck I never
had any trouble at all. You sure you have everything set up right on
your end?
I'll use QEMU as I read it should work, but I hope this feedback
could help.
