9bootfat: always try plan9 partition even when not marked active, fix bug

always look for 9fat in plan9 partition even tho the partition
is *not* maked active. marking partitions active is not
recommended anymore with grub so this makes life easier for
some people. multiple plan9 partitions on a single drive
is not supported.

have to copy partition table as buf gets trashed when reading
first block of fat partition. it worked only when the first
fat partition found (the one marked active) was the right one,
but conffat() can fail.
