I had the same experience. I managed to run a networkless Plan 9 under Parallels 4 by disabling the ethernet driver in both kernel and 9load. But attempting to enable ne2000 crashes it. Didn't have time to investigate further (and the free license period has expired so I probably won't). Vmware Fusion works fine. But 9vx is even better.
