Hello,
VirtualBox 4.2.6 on Mac OS X does *not* work with
plan9.iso: ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data \
'PLAN 9 - DEC 8 2012 04:00 '
Memory ranges: 128 - 1024 MB.
Chipset: PII3X with/out I/O APIC; ICH9.
With/out PAE/NX. With/out hw-virt-acceleration.
Video memory: 8 - 128 MB with/out 3D acceleration.
Storage controller: PIIX[34], ICH6; with/out host cache.
It always enters an endless loop after the 'Plan 9' message
appears.

As said earlier, Plan 9 is already known not to work
in VirtualBox 4.2. You should try VirtualBox 4.1.

No, really. You should try QEMU. I understand that newcomers might be
tempted to use VirtualBox because it worked well for them in the past,
but I see zero reason for us to recommend anything but QEMU while
actively discouraging VirtualBox.

Does QEMU run on Mac OS X at all?
And.. not really newcomer, i'm a BSD/vim/keyboard guy... but was
pointed to and am interested in the Unicode/Text capabilities of
Plan9, and stumbled over a rather impressive Acme video tutorial
when looking around for more background on that (and also found
mk-with-libs).
glenda is sweet!
And of course, everything is a file(system) etc., sounds Unix.

|Sure.
I never got it compiled; i tried again and failed even after light
configure hacking. But really, i'm happy with VirtualBox and even
got Plan9 installed in the meanwhile; first made the big too disk
(DOS partition that is), the second try failed to install -- at
75% i switched off and went online on the host, when i switched
back i got an endless "I/O error"s read failed loop still at 75%,
but when i reinstalled on top of that failed one turned out to be
an installation-continuation instead (only hitted RETURN and yet
installed data was recognized), and this time it finished just
fine!

Indeed, and i reinstalled 4.1.24 in favour of 4.2.6 and booted the
live ISO just a moment ago successfully.

I can confirm. On 4.2.8, it hangs after the 'Plan 9' message.
