I have (had) no issue(s) with stock 9atom and 9front
(2941.ddc4d868272b) ISOs on VirtualBox 4.2.16, Mac OS
X SnowLeopard.  (This is no "production use", though.)

Fool that i am i did not trust that it really should be "Intel
PRO/1000 MT Server (82545 EM)", but life would be too boring
without some desperation.

When using qemu from MacPorts (v1.6.0), then

And i need to do

  ; aux/vga -m vga -l

(But it's rather due to faulty initial settings; however, it's
nonetheless fine in VirtualBox.  I yet need to work on my qemu
setup.  Don't mind.)
