Today's ISO does not seem to fix the problem on a qemu install.
This is what I did:
fetch the iso
verify (md5 387cb470f2c46e5f8116ef7419086a05)
bzcat < plan9.iso.bz2 > plan9.iso
qemu-img create -f qcow2 img 10G
qemu -monitor stdio -vnc :2 -cdrom plan9.iso -boot d img
Then a usual install choosing fossil+venti.
On install completion restart qemu.
qemu -monitor stdio -net tap -net nic -vnc :2 img
Login as glenda.
kill timesync|rc # as it thinks it is Jan 2, 2000
ndb/cs -f /lib/ndb/local
ip/ipconfig
ndb/dns -r
aux/timesync -n <local-ntp-server> # back to the present!
cat >> /rc/bin/termrc.local
TIMESYNCARGS=(-n pool.ntp.org)
ndb/cs -f /lib/ndb/local
ip/ipconfig
ndb/dns -r
^D
fshalt
#wait for it to finish
^t^tr
On reboot system pauses at ...init...sync... After a few
minutes verify there is no disk activity due to qemu on the
host system.
If it matters this is on a qemu 0.9.0 (for i386), without
kqemu, run on a 64 bit mode freebsd on amd64.
