while we're on the subject, here's a half-assed script called
'inception' to boot your 9front kernel in a vmx instance on a terminal
while sharing the host's fs.

#!/bin/rc
# inception

rfork ne

ramfs

ip=`{ndb/query sys $sysname ip}

aux/listen1 -t 'tcp!*!564' /bin/exportfs -r /root &

cat >/tmp/plan9.ini << EOF
user=$user
fs=$ip
auth=$ip
mouseport=ps2
nobootprompt=tcp

EOF

vmx -v 800x600 -n ether0 -m /tmp/plan9.ini /amd64/9pc64
