Thanks Hiro, extracting the rootfs from the ISO makes 9vx work. I was
actually trying to follow this ¹ (ofcourse leaving out kfs and other
things) with 9front ISO.

So why does 9vx won't boot with 9front ISO file where as it boots with
plan9 iso file?.. Just mounting both ISO I see 9front ISO doesn't have
9load bootdisk.img and pbsraw files. (counting out NOTICEs and license
files).
