Hi, vmware esx only supports scsi virtual drives. Which version of ESX are you using? ESX 3.5 provides two types of SCSI controllers. One is BusLogic and the other is LSI Logic which is the default. If you change the controller type to BusLogic, Plan 9 should install on ESX without problems.

Plan 9 does not work with either of the SCSI controllers in ESX(i) 3.5 or less. Plan 9 does run on IDE drives just fine in ESX(i) 4. Plan 9 panicks if you give it more than 2 CPUs on any of them. If you have any questions about getting Plan 9 to run in ESX(i) 4, let me know; I've done it. But you

It's a bit sad when a modern OS (inferno) from one of the best labs in the world does not build (from hg), due to a error that could be avoided with a tiny patch. You are losing new users because of this (or aggrevating them). Why not commit the list of empty directories and add mkdir -p
