virtualbox.  Just my two cent's.

    Last when I installed 9atom I had to do it in virtualbox and then
    convert that
    image for qemu. The 9atom iso failed during boot (after selecting
    boot/install
    option).

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from

disinclination to do so.

9front works in virtualbox. qemu also can run without the virtualization extensions.
