Argh! I've to correct myself!
The boot went ok, but the system is unstable (under qvm86/qemu):
- man <smthg> give "troff: Stacksize overflow in n3; stdin: 5..."
- the little applic (top-left corner) that show stats about 
mem/interrupts/ctx switch/etc died with "stats 102: suicide: sys: trap: 
fault read addr=0x20 pc=...".

Under kqemu/qemu, also booting P9 on the CD (instead of choosing 
install) send the system in panic, with:
"panic: boot process died: sys: trap: fault read addr=0x0..."

While these errors are not - probably - due to problems of P9, It would 
be helpful to find how to succesfully run P9 into an emulator.
