Hello!
      I have been trying to run plan9 in qemu on my Ubuntu 12.04 machine,
and when as according to this page [1], I enter:

qemu-system-i386 -hda Plan9.qcow2.img -cdrom plan9.iso -boot d

I get this error

qemu-system-i386: pci_add_option_rom: failed to find romfile
"pxe-rtl8139.rom"

and the new qemu terminal is continuously rebooting.

What is the reason for this?

Thanks!

Best Regards,

you may need the 'kvm-ipxe' package.
