Hi Mark,
I run both 9front and 9legacy on macOS with Qemu. The installation of qemu 4.2.0 was a breeze via Homebrew:
Mac % brew install qemu
The Plan 9 file server VM boots off a virtual disk image that has 9fat, nvram, and fossil. I launch it with the following command:
Mac % cd $HOME/plan9/fs &&
qemu-system-x86_64 -m 512 -name 'file server' \
-nographic \
-no-reboot \
-drive 'if=none,id=hd,file=fossil.raw,format=raw' \
-device 'virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi' -device 'scsi-hd,drive=hd' \
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=n0,mac=52:54:00:09:09:02 \
-netdev user,id=n0,hostfwd=tcp::564-:564
The Plan 9 terminal boots directly off a 9front kernel supplied on the command line. I launch the VM with this command:
Mac % cd $HOME/plan9/terminal &&
qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1024 -kernel 9pc64 -initrd plan9.ini \
-name terminal \
-no-reboot \
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=n0,mac=52:54:00:09:09:09 \
-netdev user,id=n0,hostfwd=tcp::8080-:80 2>&1 | grep -v 'multiboot knows VBE'
I was testing a simple web server written in Go on the terminal and that’s why I am forwarding tcp port 8080 into it.
It took quite a lot of iterations to get these commands right. Hope this helps.
Kim
