The one difference I remember from before is that this image uses the 'qcow2' format and not 'raw'. One issue with plan9 on qemu is that on first reboot after an install on a brand new "disk", date reverts to an earlier time (Jan 1 2000?) and that confuses venti it seems. So before I make *any* changes, I manually start the network + dns, and restart timesync after pointing it to an ntp server.
