this isn't a criticism of 9vx.  if you're using 9vx to stand
in for plan 9, you are going to have a lot of trouble with
the differences.  it's possible to configure 9vx to be just
like plan 9, but that's not the default and it takes some
doing and some additions.

for what you're doing qemu (or whatever) makes more
sense.  you may even even wish to set that up as a
cpu server and then use drawterm as a viewer.
