I had some success yesterday, but more so with Erik's 9atom
ISO than the one from the labs. It handled the VirtualBox
disk emulation much better. Anyway, I ended up with a
very similar configuration, but with the ISO on the secondary
master and the fossil FS on the primary master (though I think
it also worked the other way). I tried all three of the disk
controller settings PIIX3, PIIX4, and ICH6, but none worked
with the Labs' image. It looks like I used the ICH6 setting
with 9atom. I ended up using the PIIX3 chipset, but mostly
because that's what it was left on when I switched to 9atom.
I expect it would work with PIIX4 as well--not sure about the
ICH9.
Toward the end of the day, though, I also got a VirtualBox
instance to boot off of a real Plan9 file server as a diskless
terminal...using IL to Ken's FS even :) This was with the
Intel PRO/1000 MT Server in a bridged config. This also
required the VirtualBox extensions to allow PXE booting
from the Intel cards.
As always, your mileage may vary...
