When I tried it, installing Plan 9 in VBox was horribly slow; installing it directly on hardware was somewhat slow, but not nearly as
bad as in VBox.

This is clearly a VBox bug, as there were reports in the VBox forums
and/or bug tracker that booting OpenSolaris was horribly slow as well.

David Leimbach No, I just tried the IDE controller: PIIX4 and ICH6 types, no difference. But only DMA not support message under Plan9 installation if ICH6 selected. I'll try to experiment with SCSI.
