//How about running Plan 9 under vmware?

I tired to get it to boot with bochs to no avail.
from www.bochs.com :

"Bochs is capable of running most Operating Systems inside the
emulation including Linux, Windows'95, DOS, and recently Windows NT 4"

it runs on a load of platforms

from the documentation

 * Unix/X11:
     * BeOS:
       Win32. You can compile with either the MS Visual C++ 5.0 or GNU-Win32
       environments.
     * OS/2:
     * Macintosh:
     * FreeDOS for Bochs: David Batterham drbatter@socs.uts.edu.au also offers
       information on running FreeDOS inside of bochs. You can download a disk image with
       a pre-installed copy of FreeDOS, a completely free DOS-like operating system.


might be interesting project for someone to port and then run win95
under plan9!
