The /rc/bin/termrc script does this:

		@{
			rfork n
			if(~ $monitor vesa)
				aux/realemu
			aux/vga -l $vgasize
		}

so realemu is most likely not running in your namespace.

The correct way to subscribe to the 9front mailing list is to
send a message with a body that just says "subscribe" (no quotes)
to 9front-owner@9front.org. After subscribing, list messages are
sent to and received from 9front@9front.org.
