I had some success yesterday, but more so with Erik's 9atom ISO than the one from the labs. It handled the VirtualBox disk emulation much better. Anyway, I ended up with a very similar configuration, but with the ISO on the secondary master and the fossil FS on the primary master (though I think it also worked the other way). I tried all three of the disk controller settings PIIX3, PIIX4, and ICH6, but none worked with the Labs' image. It looks like I used the ICH6 setting with 9atom. I ended up using the PIIX3 chipset, but mostly because that's what it was left on when I switched to 9atom. I expect it would work with PIIX4 as well--not sure about the ICH9. Toward the end of the day, though, I also got a VirtualBox instance to boot off of a real Plan9 file server as a diskless terminal...using IL to Ken's FS even :) This was with the Intel PRO/1000 MT Server in a bridged config. This also required the VirtualBox extensions to allow PXE booting from the Intel cards. As always, your mileage may vary...
