In the past, I've had problems installing 9atom/plan9 on the latest version
of VirtualBox, but I could install it on a VM from an older (4.1.24?) rev
of VirtualBox. I have since updated to the latest VirtualBox and my VMs
have continued to work. I haven't tried an install on a new VM since I
updated.
