nick owens (mischief) deserves the credit for it, i just
reviewed code, suggested changes and helped fixing the
bugs.

Thanks, both. I use VB because it works well for what I need it for
(running Linux on Win and Mac) and for me it works better than qemu in that
respect. I'd rather stick to one virtualisation solution if possible.
I've narrowed the problem down to the emulated ethernet card - the Intel MT
peter: don't listen to mveety, one of his hobbies is setting himself on fire.
I run 9front in virtualbox, and, while I totally agree that its a
waste of time to test it because they *always* break something in
vbox, you're pretty safe if you stay on the 4.3 series and 5.0 series
(on my end: 4.3 on freebsd is tested and 5.0 on windows is tested). I
know you don't get the
dont use vbox. each new vbox version breaks something. when i tried to
update to the latest one on windows 7 vbox didnt start anymore after
the installation. in the trash it goes. i will not test 9front
under vbox anymore and not support it. use vmware or kvm/qemu.

I've been using plan 9 on Virtual Box 5.0.x for a while and it's been
running fine. However the latest update to 5.1 seems not to work.
I want to try and sort this out but I need a bit of help on figuring out
what's going during boot.
On both Labs and 9front the booting just hangs somewhere
