How do I go about editing the installation wiki if I don't have a
networked Plan 9 system? I would like to add the following:
'linux: to boot from a previously installed linux system, with plan 9
on the second (empty) hd drive:  when asked to choose a boot method,
press (control + d).
Reboot to linux and add the following to the end of '/boot/grub/menu.lst' :
title plan 9
    rootnoverify (hd1,0)
    savedefault
    makeactive
    chainloader +1

Then reboot, and test the plan 9 option!
Note: For help with GRUB see

Having recently installed Plan 9, I had to do the not so difficult job
of transfering lilo specific instructions to grub from a web search.
was disappointed that the install didn't have any options for booting
with linux. Hopefully this may save someone the few minutes to work it
out or for guru's hours explaining how to do so;
