If you want to try Erik's patch, you could install plan 9 on real hardware or under a different virtual machine like qemu or vmware, and follow the instructions at http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/Compiling_kernels/ Or just keep using the other VM and give up on Microsoft Virtual PC for the moment. grai
