I've got some instructions for running Plan 9 on Virtual Box, I was going to post them on the wiki as Alexandru Gheorghe suggested. I got onto the wiki and tried to edit the sandbox as a first step but got a curious error when I tried to Put: Wiki commit 1028330739 12 -1: '/sys/lib/wiki/d/2.hist' permission denied. Anyway here are the instructions for future reference.
