The 4.2.14 maintenance release (2013-06-21) of Virtualbox has a fix for
the problem that stopped Plan 9 working with Virtualbox 4.2.
From https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Changelog :
BIOS: don't use the ENTER / LEAVE instructions in the BIOS as these
don't work in the real mode as set up by cer

I have ThinkPad T23 and the stick works with native Plan 9...

I use one pad|mouse combined with Fn keys defined as mouse buttons (with
chording). This

that is a detail that matters only to physical devices.

I think you need the extension pack installed...if I uninstall it from
this machine I can provoke the behaviour you describe with high cpu load
and hangs after starting bin/rc. The install to disk option seems less
prone to failure and sometimes it boots the live CD but takes a long
time doing

While biking i became enlightened.
Just disabled the network and it boots (VirtualBox 4.2.16, OS X).
It seems the system hangs around trying to get some IP address via
DHCP?? I don't know why it does so long (minutes) and requires
such a lot of CPU time (though of the VM) doing

no ch
I sit at my desk with a computer (not a laptop) on the floor, a
keyboard in front of me, a mouse on the right and a trackpad on the
left.
On the rare cases I'm programming on a laptop, it's really the same
except for the location of the trackpad. In particular, there's still
a mouse.

Well, maybe later, on the Athlon (i think trying notebook is hard).
But anyway i'm happy to have a running 9atom now.
(The ~28 percent CPU usage of VM i talked about is the idle load also
when installed, btw. And awk doesn't support hex. Ciao.)
