I'm having several problems with 9vx, following the instructions here:

  http://9fans.net/archive/2008/07/118

If I boot with:

  $ ./9vx.OSX -u glenda

9vx hangs at the upas/fs invocation in /usr/glenda/lib/profile.

If I try:

  $ replica/pull -v /dist/replica/network

I get a 'unable to set uid/gid' error on every file that is pulled.

After some advice on IRC, I though perhaps both were related to permission problems having 9vx run as glenda over a plan9.tar.gz unpacked by user gary.

However, I also created a new 'glenda' user in OSX. But even logged in as glenda and everything reinstalled by 'glenda' in her home directory... both bugs are still present: upas/fs hangs and prevents rio starting up, and when I comment that line out and try replica/pull I *still* get uid/gid errors.

What is the best way to run 9vx on a mac, and have it behave well?

Or failing that, what is the best way to run plan 9 on mac os x?

Cheers,
        Gary
