Hi, cinap
Yes, on physical boxes I've faced this kind of problems several times in
the past years.
All noted in my personal "troubleshooting memo"
But building the VM many times from scratch, tracking questions and
answers on paper,
configuring all possible type of disk etc etc etc ... I couldnt get a
bootable VM.
I'm sure the problem is the mix "obsolete(Win+VMware) + up-to-date Plan9
distro".
Bell and 9legacy both install on the fly.
Having some constraints, I'm looking for a whatever (set of) VM
to have all/many distros running on my desk, being convinced that's not
reasonable
to adapt current distros to a prehistoric environment.
