Thanks for the suggestion! Care to give me a short introduction to
ssh on Plan 9? I normally avoid ssh like the plague, so I assume I
know nothing about it.


I don't use FreeBSD, so this might be slightly wrong. :)

You want to do this in FreeBSD:

- Edit /etc/rc.conf and check if this line is present:

    sshd_enable="YES"

  If it isn't, add it.

- Edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and add the following lines:

    Protocol 2,1
    HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key
    AllowUsers username@plan9_machine_ip_address

- Run:

    ssh-keygen -t rsa1 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key
    chmod 644 /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key


That's the setup. Now, whenever you want to access your machine's files from Plan 9, run this on FreeBSD:

    service sshd start

And on Plan 9:

    ssh username@bsd_machine_ip_address

Type 'yes' at any prompts that pop up.

VirtualBox is much faster on my machine, but I don't manage to
set up any network connections at all. NIC is recognized, but
ip/ipconfig hangs and after configuring manually, not even ip/ping
works. So I'll stick to QEMU for now.
