I have tried to boot a number of Plan 9 4e ISOs on a number of VirtualBox
releases (even from before Sun acquired it). Just won't work. It will take
someone who knows Plan 9 very well to debug it and find out exactly why it
doesn't.
A problem with Virtual PC was recently solved, I remember, by patching the
kernel. Nobody said if the patch did work or not probably because applying
it and recompiling the kernel was too complicated a task for a novice. And
that was with the ISO properly booting and a complete installation on the
(virtual) disk. If the ISO doesn't boot and the installation system never
begins I assume one will have to create a new ISO with the patched kernel
as well--not something I can dream of doing.

Has anyone else tried grabbing the latest Plan9 ISO (from the website)
and installing it via VirtualBox v2.2 ? I got only as far as:
kfs...<caret>
And the whole thing just stalled and hung at that point, so I am
hoping that someone can point me to the wrong vbox settings that I am
using.
I am trying this from a Vista box. Please don't say go to a different
OS and try again. :-)
