Re: [9fans] VirtualBox, Mavericks, and Plan 9

[Peter Hull <peterhull90@gmail.com>]

Hi Shane,
I just tried an installation from scratch of 9atom - downloaded the
ISO from Quanstro.net, installed on VirtualBox 4.3.12 on Mavericks
10.9.3 accepting the defaults as far as possible. It all installed
fine and booted fine. I've not had time to setup networking etc. but
it certainly doesn't hang as you describe.
I have noticed that the 'default install' doesn't seem to work if
installing on a virtual hard disk that already has plan9 on it (in my
case installing 9atom over the labs version, it didn't seem to
actually do anything and booted back to the labs distro) . Did you
start from a fresh HD this time?

I can send you my 9atom.vbox (the XML config file) separately if you want.

Pete
