I just managed to install 9front in virtualbox on my Arch linux x86_64
laptop (intel (Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU T2370 @ 1.73GHz), 2GiB RAM).
I first tried with the Bell labs image which booted nicely from CD but
after install, the boot from the virtual disk image failed. The "copy to
disk" phase of the install took some time also here, but hardly hours.
I think the critical setting to make it work in virtualbox was to set
the IDE controller to PIIX3 and to uncheck "use host I/O cache". I was
planning to try the 9atom sometime later (but now I am mostly playing
with the system that does work).
