My experience is that I ran 9front mostly successfully for a long time, but sometimes versions of either 9front or VB would conflict. Recently it stopped working for me: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=109347 I think the issue is that, due to the way it works (it's virtualisation, not an emulator), some aspects of the host CPU 'leak through' and that isn't always handled correctly. I had another issue with valgrind and Fedora linux which was down to the same thing. Someone once told me that QEMU always works, but last time I tried, QEMU is not very nice to use on Windows.
