I spent a few hours and investigated virtualbox 4.0 here is a summary
latest official plan9 iso installed perfectly no network support.
latest 9atom iso installed perfectly however after reboot it fails
with the following errors
MBR...PBS1...Bad Format or I/O error
Press a key to reboot...
reinstalling 9atom over the plan9.iso installation fixed everything,
it's bootable and with netwrok support.
thanks all
