	Has anyone gotten Plan9 to run (heck, to even install) under a VMware
	session?

I briefly lookde at this when it came up on the mailing list a while ago.
VMware presents some 'hardware' in the virtual machine for which we have no
drivers, e.g. the ethernet controller and the graphics chip. I believe
the ethernet controller is a variant on the AMD controller for which we do
have a driver, so that can probably be fixed easily. I've no idea what the
graphics controller looks like.

If I could be bothered installing NT or Linux on a system here I'd take a
closer look.
