Hello.
I have just installed plan9 as a cpu/auth/fileserver in vmware. After lots of work and hours of reinstalling and messing around with networking and bridging I finally got drawterm to connect to it.
Here's what I get:
 
user: bootes
bootes@something.net password:
cpu: failed to chdir to "C:\"
 
When I move drawterm.exe around C:\ changes to whereever it's placed.
I use the version of drawterm.exe from http://swtch.com/drawterm/. I can both from plan9 to windows and from windows to plan9. I use the "host-only" network setting in vmware because I couldn't get bridging to work (well, I could, but then something happened....)
I downloaded the iso yesterday and at the moment I'm not capable of getting it to pull from sources.

in your case this is not possible -- there's no C:\ on plan 9.
but this should not be a problem.  you will just be plopped in bootes
home directory instead.

i don't think chdir is causing the delay. do you have anything in
your $home/lib/profile that could take time when you sign in?
